Just finished a 2 day still-life workshop. Very intense, but all the students did very well considering all the challenging set-ups to choose from. So concentrated and comitted. From charcoal drawing, to grisaille block-in, to colour. Thanks to @pavillonbosio welcoming us to their space on the #rocherdemonaco . #oilpainting #oilonpanel #stilllife #fromlife #workshop #paintingworkshop #educate #art #artteacher #monaco #pavillonbosio #instaartist #instaart #instateachers #theprocess #classicrevival #classicalpainting #paint #peintre #peinturealhuile #studiolife #artlife #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #
Thank you Repin, for this masterclass of expressive portraits. All the way from Tretyakov collection in Moscow, to the Vatican of Rome. Show ends in 2 days and it's free! Also Levitan, Kramskoy, Perov among others. Get up close and see the paint. The biggest head in this one is the size of your palm, yet the paint application is still thick and impressionistic. #classicalpainting #oldmasters #russianpainters #oiloncanvas #oilpainting #masterpiece #vatican #tretyakovgallery #moscow #russianart #museum #learnfromthebest #travellingartist #educate #classicalrealism #ilyarepin #repin #exhibition #artshow

Winter in the mountains has always brought me great inspiration. The domineering peaks covered in snow have such a humbling effect. At times i've been frustrated from not getting out enough to paint snow, so one time i sought inspiration elswhere: film! It's rare for me to not paint directly from life, but discovering @jimmy_chin and his incredible climbing & film-making skills was a revelation. Together with @conrad_anker & @renan_ozturk , they took on MERU: @merufilm . So fun to connect with these places by painting these 4 sketches. I miss the envigorating cold though! #merufilm #oilpainting #landscapepainting #inspiration #peintre #paintanyway #painter #art #climbing #mountaineering #snowcaps #meru #snow #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #instaartist #instaart #filmmaker #mountains #mountainscape #realism #peinturealhuile #montagne #neige #alpinisme #studiolife
This little corner of the studio is starting to become a series of mini animal motifs. All around my sitter are various sculptures: horse, bird, geese, dogs. The challenge is to paint their presence without creating too many distractions. Work in progress. BTW, the one on the couch is real! #oiloncanvas #oilpainting #peinture #peinturealhuile #painter #art #portraitcommission #animalart #animalsculpture #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #workinprogress #detail #ontheeasel #studiolife #classicrevival #classicalrealism #interior #leportrait #theprocess #portraitpainting #portraitpainter
