About Kevin and the tour
Kevin produces paintings that are mainly figurative, but at the same time strives to create a sense of the enigmatic and evocative. The subject matter is varied, and he focuses on choosing the less obvious viewpoints whilst avoiding the clichéd and overstated.
Mood and atmosphere are his primary concerns whilst eliminating as much unnecessary detail as possible. The work he produces is mainly painted en plein air and is often used as the basis for larger studio-based works.
This painting workshop in Croatia is one of many that Kevin has organized, spending time and energy to explain the brush strokes and importance of light, Kevin gives a great insight to his students throughout the week to help them improve and get the results they are looking for.
Towards the end of the workshop, all students will gather with some of their works for a constructive feedback session from him and the other students.
