John Kilroy |
| John Kilroy graduated from The Art Institute of Boston where he studied with Norman Baer and Walter Marks. He has studied privately with Robert Bliss, John Asaro and Richard Schmid. He was also inspired to become a painter because of a small group of Taos/Denver artists active collectively in the 1970's. His major influences include such masters as Joaquin Sorolla, Anders Zorn, John Singer Sargent, Valentin Serov, Ilya Repin, Nicolai Fechin, to name a few. The essence of his teaching methods focuses on painting directly from life and he tries to incorporate accuracy of observation, combined with Alla prima painting techniques. He stresses the effect of light on the subject and on identifying the elements of light and color which form the visual language of the old masters. www.johnkilroy.com |
