Just finished a week of private lessons with Tim in Rome. I learned more from him in one week than I have in all the classes I’ve taken before. I came to strengthen my portrait skills and to learn how to glaze skin tone like the old renaissance masters. I will be coming back. Tim is a great instructor. And funny!

Tim has an outstanding wealth of knowledge when it comes to supporting art students in drawing and painting. Both new to experienced painters, and covering not just portraits and the human figure, but also still life and landscape. I learnt a lot about colour mixing and matching, reflected light, and shadows when I attended his classes, and along with other students we engaged in critiques and his enthusiasm for classical art. I totally recommend joining a class if you have the opportunity.

I got to know Tim at one of his first Renaissance Retreats in the fall of 2019. I spent the week painting my heart out. We created a portrait of a young woman in period garb in the studio, then surrounded her with an en plein air Tuscan background. In between, we enjoyed great food, wine and conversation. It was wonderful! Later, when the pandemic hit and we were all stuck at home, Tim seized the moment to create live-via-Zoom courses that united students from across the globe. We did portraits, a still life, then this summer I finally finished that first portrait in a class on finishing. I have learned so much, and improved so much as a painter, with Tim’s guidance. He is a born teacher, a real teacher who continues to learn and share his ever evolving perspective. And he is funny, which helps when you are ready to shred your canvas! If I lived in Rome, I would relish the opportunity to take his classes in person.

Tim is the most incredible and talented art teacher and I am so very grateful for the energy, guidance and enthusiasm he has given to me during our online courses. Tim inspired me to paint, continue to learn and explore all the beautiful art everywhere. He is dedicated and inspirational and can’t wait to one day paint in his studio in Rome. Thankyou!!! ?
