Landscape Painting Simplified, a Different Approach to Understanding Value
Workshop | Available
This workshop focuses on developing a strong framework for tackling the subject of value. Students will spend time understanding two different aspects of value: form and design. They’ll learn what these aspects are, how they complement one another, and how they detract from one another. Using value as a “lens” through which we can view other concepts in painting, students will have a new perspective on other areas such as color, edges, composition, and atmosphere. By the end of the workshop, students will have a new, powerful tool in their kit that can be broadly applied to any subject, style, or approach. www.kimballgeisler.com
Kimball Geisler
Kimball describes his style of Plein Air as realism. While in his work he strives for accurate drawing, value, and color to represent his subject, he relies heavily on the spontaneity of the paint as it is transferred from brush to canvas. Through thick and thin, rough and smooth brushwork, he believes that detail is better left implied than described.
Since entering into the art market, Kimball has enjoyed consistent sales and positive feedback from collectors, vendors, and other prominent artists. His work has been featured in full articles in prominent art magazines, and it has taken him to incredible locations throughout many different states as well as other countries. He’s earned awards through various painting competitions and shows, including the Grand Prize for the annual Plein Air Salon for 2022. Today Kimball lives in Rexburg, Idaho, with his family where he enjoys the rich mountain terrain that Idaho has to offer.
