Capturing the Light
Workshop | This program is completed
Tim began his career painting outside, but now spends much of his time painting in the studio. In this workshop, most of the time will be spent in the studio, with some painting time spent outdoors as well, weather permitting. Tim is best known for the light in his paintings coupled with strong composition. The primary focus will be how to convey the sense of strong sunlight in a painting by identifying, clarifying and pushing the values. Exercises will be used to help simplify these concepts. Students will also work on achieving clean color in their paintings, and utilize value patterns to aid in developing successful compositions. There will be discussions on materials, scene selection and brushwork. During the workshop, Tim will create a demonstration painting each day, and work with students individually on their paintings throughout the day. Tim will also present slideshows, using examples of his work and the work of others to illustrate key concepts. www.timhornart.com

Timothy Horn
Born and raised in the small town of Yellow Springs, Ohio, Tim graduated from the Cooper Union School of Art in New York City, with a focus in graphic design. He worked at several design firms in NYC before moving to San Francisco, where he continued to work as a designer, and on a whim took a painting class.?Within a year he realized he had found his calling and was completely hooked. He began painting more and more and doing less and less graphic design. In the fall of 2006, he closed his design business and now paints full time. He lives in Northern California and paints all over the Bay Area and beyond. About half his work is done on location, or "plein air", and the rest is done in his studio from studies or photographs.
He occasionally participates in plein air events, is represented by 5 galleries and teaches painting workshops around the country and abroad. Horn's work has won numerous awards, been featured in several magazines, and was on the cover of Southwest Art in 2012. Horn was the Signature Artist of Beaux Arts in 2021, and he is a signature member of both the California Art Club and Oil Painters of America.
