KEVIN MENCK
OCTOBER 21-23, 2011
PLEN AIR WORKSHOP
9:00 am to 4:00 pm
Cost: $350

The workshop will consist of teaching the students about simplifying the masses and painting accurate values in those masses. To me this is the foundation to painting. “If I can get them to see and understand this the rest is icing on the cake.” Demo in the mornings and students paint in the afternoon on location.

KEVIN MENCK

Kevin Menck was born and raised in Middle Tennessee. After graduating from art school, he worked briefly as a designer and then as a self-employed illustrator for 15 years. "Working as an illustrator helped me develop skills that are fundamental to what I do now, especially drawing. The ability to draw is the foundation to everything."

Kevin is now committed to painting the landscape "en plein aire." Being an avid outdoorsman for years, Kevin has a deep love and respect for the outdoors. "I remember sitting in a duck blind or deer stand and trying to figure out how to capture what I was seeing on canvas. To get that atmosphere, to make a cold day look cold and hot days hot. I want the viewer to look at it and know what it actually was to be there."
