Another intense painting workshop with Kim English. He really put the students to the test, changing the model’s poses every twenty minutes or so. Most of the days were spend on the grounds of the Greenville Arms, on the back lawn by the studio, on the front lawn by the main inn, or around the pool, but mid-week the class went out to a local farm for more interesting structures and variety.

“Excellent teacher, very generous with time and info and willing to answer questions. Please see if Kim can come every year!” “Loved the models and all the locations.” “Fantastic meals! What a chef! Too many cookies and desserts! Ha!“

Here is just a small sampling of the many quick sketch paintings. The walls of the whole studio were filled with paintings such as these.




While class time was intense, this group knew how to unwind at the end of the day, often gathering the parlor for wine, beer, and laughs.




If you missed getting into this year’s class, Kim English will be back in 2017.
