CAPTIONS:
"Yellow Hair Tie" This is a painting I did of my wife a few yeas back.
"Woman in the White Dress" This is one of my newer figurative paintings. Inspired by some of the work of John Singer Sargent.
"Firelight" This is a painting that is all abut the light, there is two light sources one is cool and the other is warm. I like the effects that the changes in light temperature will create. It makes for a dramatic composition.
"And All that Jazz" I often try and capture a candid moment in my models I want them to feel authentic and unposed.

3-Day Oil Painting Portrait Workshop
September 25-27, 2020 - 9AM
Paoletti Studio of Art
Palmer
Cost: $400
This September, Paoletti Studio of Art will be offering a workshop with renowned artist, Kyle Stuckey.
This 3-day oil painting workshop will focus on portrait painting for three full days, September 25, 26 and 27.
Kyle Stuckey (born 1987) began studying art during his high school years, by private instruction through Lori Woodward Simons and various workshops. He later became a member of the Putney Painters, where he was able to continue to hone his skills in the presence of some of the greatest artists today, including Richard Schmid and Nancy Guzik.
His work is strongly influenced by his study of historical artists including: Waterhouse, Bouguereau, Sargent, Zorn, and Alma-Tadema. Over the years, he has developed and refined his style, working with oil in impressionistic realism.
“I paint in the way I see my subject matter, trying to mimic the way the human eye sees. Not everything is in focus at one time. Regardless of what my subject matter may be, in my paintings I focus on what I find inspiring in that subject. This way the viewer can see my vision and perhaps share in that experience. At the same time, I want my paintings to have visual variety in detail and texture by using the full potential of the oils with the variations of texture and transparency.”
He enjoys painting an array of subject matter: people, places, and things.
Kyle has spent much time traveling around the world, painting as he goes. Originally from New Hampshire, Kyle has also spent time in Asia, Europe, Central America, and the U.S. West Coast. Now he lives in Charleston, SC.
This is a great opportunity to learn how to paint portraits in oil or advance your skills, with beginners and advanced artists both welcome. The class will be in Palmer at Paoletti Private Art Studio.
