Developing the Portrait - Timothy Rees

We are excited to welcome Tim Rees for this pair of workshops, all about the portrait!

Take your artwork to the next level with a dive into Timothy Rees’s painting process. In this four-day workshop, participants will have the luxury of exploring all the aspects that go into development of his award winning portraits. 


Choice of two dates:

• June 19, 20, 21, 22 (Thursday-Sunday)

• June 26, 27, 28, 29 (Thursday-Sunday)

Fee: $595 + Model fees, estimated at $65-$100

- SIGN UP NOW - 


Each day will be divided to help participants follow along at an engaging rhythm. Students will watch Timothy demonstrate and lecture for the first half of the morning, then paint from the same pose the second half of the morning, repeating the format in the afternoon.  Partitioning the time in this way will help students to absorb each lesson more fully, as well as provide time for the oil paint to set up to allow for more advanced edge manipulation throughout the piece.  By the end of the workshop, students will have a layered oil painting that expresses dynamic, richly colored, sculptural qualities that bring their portrait to life.


About Tim Rees - Timothy Rees began his pursuit of art by moving to Chicago in 2009 to paint in the open studios of the Palette and Chisel Academy. After one year he joined the staff of instructors, and soon began teaching workshops locally and abroad. In 2012 he moved to Scottsdale, where he later created and taught a classical art program for the Scottsdale Artist School. In 2017 he opened an atelier, where between 10 and 15 apprentices studied under him at any given time.  In 2020 he moved to Iowa, where he paints in his downtown studio.  Throughout his decade of painting he has appeared in numerous publications such as Fine Art Connoisseur, International Artist, Southwest Art, and American Art Collector. He has won various awards, including first place in Portrait Society of America’s Members only Competition, Art Renewal Center’s Gallery Award, FASO’s Bold Brush award, and People’s Choice Award in the SAS Beaux Arts Show and P&C Gold medal show. He has filmed two instructional videos with Streamline Publishing, and has created a comprehensive remote atelier training program with textbooks and 200 hours of instructional video, for those unable to attend a traditional atelier.

Timothy Rees paints a range of subjects and in various techniques, but is best known for his loose all prima portraits, striking life-size figure paintings, and naturalistic outdoor figure paintings of women and children. While some of his work has a narrative or a message, he says the most important thing with his paintings is to add to the inherent beauty of the world while visually exploring the experiences that unite humanity.

Understanding Floral Painting - Richard Kochenash

Image: Gathered Orange Austins by Richard Kochenash

To reveal the exquisite beauty of delicate flowers takes more than 

just the basics of drawing, value and edges.  It demands a looser gestural energy, dynamic mark making, speed-yet decisiveness and the ability to paint transmitted light into shadows. To express color, we’re inviting color vibration which requires layering notes that optically fuse to resonate a luminous color. 


July 18 - 20 (Firday-Sunday)

Fee: $450

Beginning with a Friday evening demo, Rick will demonstrate his thinking process explaining decisions on composition, organization of process, the selection of appropriate paint, while utilizing little known tools and materials he has put into operation to carve out flowers in a series of lifting, scraping, painting and wiping.  As we move through the following days the attendees will individually work on their own compositions of live subjects while receiving abundant critiques and guidance individually as well as group where appropriate.

This class will require a degree of stamina as the pace will be quick and compressed due to the fleeting nature of the subject.  The goal…to push you to extend your reach, challenging you to paint not just what is seen, but felt. 

 From Rick Kochenash -  

Every canvas starts as a blank, I can relate to that fact. Before I begin every canvas, I pause and reflect how I’ve been brought by the grace of God to this point. For without His direction and grace, I too would be a blank.


Rick has been painting professionally now for thirty-seven years. A transplant from the East Coast, he received an art educator degree from Kutztown University in Pennsylvania. After relocating to Minnesota he attended the Atelier LeSueur for four years, then studied as an apprenctice for a year with Richard Lack.

For the past eleven years, Rick has maintained a studio in downtown Chaska. His work runs a broad range. Working from life, Rick spends his time doing plein air painting, floral compositions, and portrait work. His work has been well received in numerous solo and group shows, and he has won mulptiple awards nationally. Always a teacher, he continues to share his craft and insights through oil and watercolor classes.

Italian Master Drawing Techniques “Tratteggio Incrociato” - Patrizia Vignola

PATRIZIA VIGNOLA brings a depth of knowledge based on years of study in New York and Florence

 This workshop focuses on the distinctive drawing techniques used by the Italian Masters to create drawings that embody life, movement, and naturalism. 

They built from the “inside out” especially when it came to the human form. Their use of perspective and foreshortening enhances the illusion of depth and three dimensionality. Close attention was paid to how light hits form and the combined application of Sfumato (softening edges), Chiaroscuro (contrast of light and shade) and Tratteggio Incrociato (cross hatching) contribute to the aesthetic characteristics of Italian Master Drawings. 

The workshop will place particular focus on developing Tratteggio Incrociato skills—an essential tool the Masters used to guide the viewer’s eye around the form. Students will gain an understanding of and an ability to apply these techniques to their own drawings.


ABOUT PATRIZIA


Patrizia Vignola is a native New Yorker now living, teaching, and creating in Minnesota. Her work, often described as contemporary surrealism, is deeply rooted in the techniques and traditions of the Italian and Northern Renaissance Masters—a lifelong influence that continues to shape her artistic language.

From an early age, Patrizia was drawn to the challenge of mastering realism in drawing and painting. In high school, her focus was firmly on the arts, leading her to pursue a BFA, which included a formative period of study in Florence, Italy. There, she immersed herself in the classical methods of the Renaissance, honing the skills that would become the foundation of her practice.

She later earned her MFA from the New York Academy of Art – Graduate School of Figurative Art, where the curriculum emphasized classical training and anatomical study. Notably, she completed three cadaver dissections—far beyond the single required course—demonstrating her deep commitment to understanding the human form. 

During graduate school, Patrizia also produced copies of Italian Master drawings for a New York City dealer who specialized in serving a discerning clientele.

Though her current work often ventures beyond tradition, Patrizia never strays far from her classical roots. The foundational techniques she studied so rigorously remain a constant touchstone in her process. Equally passionate about teaching, she finds great fulfillment in sharing her knowledge and nurturing the skills of others. 

July 31 - Aug 3 (Thursday-Sunday)

Thurs. & Friday 4pm - 9pm

Sat & Sun 12pm – 6 pm
