Wow, what a year! I am thrilled to announce my annual Solo Exhibition where I will be presenting the evolution of my plein air artwork into larger, more interpretive pieces, exploring the impact of simplicity in design.

I invite you to join me for the Opening Reception from 12-5pm on December 2nd at Studio 320, 1000 Parker St. in Vancouver (map). The show will also be available for viewing on December 3rd from 10-5pm.

This exhibition marks a profound evolution in my creative journey, blending nature’s inspiration into abstract forms to stir the imagination. Join me on this voyage where the outdoors merges into abstraction, crafting a deeply personal, universally resonant narrative.

Please bring a friend and see you there!

Cheers,

-Michael

Book Your Time Slot Now

This show is to combat the isolation we all feel and allow us to get out an attend something for yourself. I will be displaying a collection of my plein air (outdoor) oil paintings painted on site at various locations throughout Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge and the North Shore.

Plein Air Painting has been a much needed relief for myself during this last year and I would love to have you there to share in the art and conversation. Masks, sanitizer and social distancing required for this event but it won’t stop our love for art!

All viewings are 20 minutes long with a maximum of two people in the same bubble allowed at one time.

With everyone more comfortable with interacting online it seems like the perfect time. If you are looking to improve your painting through videos, group or personal Zoom critique/mentoring sessions please consider becoming a Patron.

For me, Patreon is a better way to manage teaching & mentoring others while creating art instructional videos for YouTube or exclusively for Patreon Members.

For you, Patreon is a easy way to join the community by just paying a few dollars per month for instruction or mentoring with no large upfront costs like in a workshop. There is no long term obligations and it’s easy to discontinue at anytime. Although, I would be fantastic for you to stay to help build the community.

All I ask is that you take a look at the different tiers available. If one appeals to you, I’d love to have you aboard.

We’ll start with a simple blue sky  and progress into more complex colorful sunsets with clouds.

Demo Description: “Join painter and art instructor Michael King for an overview of the fundamental aspects of painting dynamic skies in oils! This demo shows how easy it is to paint interesting skies using two main principles – value and colour temperature. By painting a scene live, Michael will dive into how to simplify a scene, the importance of using variation in your values and colour temperature and why brushstrokes are so essential to establishing movement and feeling when depicting skies. Perfect for anyone looking to boost their knowledge of painting skies; beginners and experienced painters alike!”

It’s easy to register, just visit their Registration Page.

See you there.
