Following the post-secondary schooling, my greatest push in development or inspiration was seeing the works from the Russian Hermitage collection. They inspired me. The skill of the artist’s brushstrokes, the bold layers of paint and the well-orchestrated compositions were prolific. Viewing a Repin painting, one could feel the blood run through the figure in the painting, which led me to sit for hours and marvel at the talent of the artist. After returning to Edmonton, I felt cheated by some Art Schools disregarding academic techniques. I knew my job was to teach others the skills and techniques I had acquired, towards classical realism and naturalism. My own works of art focus on creating mood & drama using romantic brushstrokes of the Old Masters. |

| In 2010, Pro’sArtSchool has had the privilege of hosting guest instructors for four workshops. Each one of these workshops provided the students withan opportunity to paint with an artist of international reputation, to observe their painting techniques and to learn from the experience. Comments from Zhaoming Wu, Sherrie McGraw, Gregg Kreutz and Robert Johnson regarding their experience teaching at the Pro’s Art School are provided below. Please feel free to read what they had to say about their experience at Pro’s Art School. A schedule of the International Artists’ Workshops for 2011 is posted and it should be every bit as exciting as this past year’s.
