Have you ever been inspired to work in the grand scale of paintings hanging in museums? Figure painter Timothy Rees will lead students through the mechanics of executing large figure paintings, from conception of idea to execution. Students will be provided a large stretched canvas (which can be rolled and shipped after the workshop), as well as extra-large brushes. After watching a demonstration each morning, students will work for five days to execute a painting that is five feet or larger. All styles are welcome, and the main focus will be in planning, setting up the model, positioning the model and canvas to view everything in the correct perspective, painting on a large scale, and more. Class size is limited to 10 students. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to paint the size of the Old Masters! www.reesfineart.com

Rees, Timothy

Timothy Rees was fascinated with drawing throughout his youth and after high school pursued a degree in animation. The pull to painting portraits and figures was strong, however, leading him to learn the craft in the open studios of the Palette and Chisel in Chicago. After one year he joined the staff of instructors, and soon began teaching workshops locally and abroad while showing his work in galleries. He went on to develop and teach a classical art training program for the Scottsdale Artist School, then formed his own atelier, where apprentices studied under him full time. In his spare time, he recently completed a Bachelors in Justice and Ethics through University of Iowa, and formed a 501c3 nonprofit called Bridges to Art, bringing economic opportunity through arts programing to geographically remote and underserved regions of the world.

Timothy paints a range of subjects and in various techniques, but is best known for his loose all prima portraits, striking figurative abstract blended work, 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 exploring what it means to be human through the visual experience of paint.

He is currently represented by Arcadia Contemporary in New York City, NY; Bonner David Gallery in Scottsdale, AZ; and Susan Powell Fine Art in Madison, CT
