Student Work / Lavori dei Partecipanti
I am very proud of what my students have been able to accomplish, especially in this new age of online learning. Below is a collection of images that show the evolution (from left to right) of some of the work produced during the online courses.
Sono estremamente orgoglioso di quello che i partecipanti sono stati in grado di realizzare, soprattutto in questo nuovo periodo di insegnamento online. Sotto una serie di immagini che mostrano l’evoluzione (da sinistra a destra) di alcuni dei lavori realizzati durante i corsi online.

“Tim’s online classes have been a godsend during the pandemic. I learn with every single session, and the group critiques are extremely helpful. Not only is Tim a very talented, well-schooled painter, he continues to learn, and effectively passes on his insights to his students. The students themselves are so talented, each with their own style. We have great discussions, and everyone is open to learning new methods and approaches to their work. And did I mention fun? We all have a great time!”

“Dalle lezioni individuali per imparare le basi della pittura a olio a quelle sul ritratto, Tim mi ha insegnato non solo la tecnica ma è riuscito a trasmettermi molto di più. L’attenzione verso la composizione, l’importanza delle gerarchie visive e i modi per attrarre l’occhio dell’osservatore su alcuni punti precisi della superficie del quadro, l’importanza del tono e della temperatura dei colori, l’atmosfera che si crea intorno ai soggetti del quadro, la qualità della luce, la pazienza per il disegno di base (che a me mancava).
Abbiamo lavorato sui grandi maestri del passato cercando di cogliere il loro processo pittorico per incorporarlo nella nostra esperienza.
E poi, durante il lockdown il grande colpo d’ingegno di Tim: con le lezioni on line siamo riusciti a non fermarci e, anzi, a lavorare, dipingere e imparare come e più di prima.
Col tempo, durante tutte le lezioni e guardando ai suoi bellissimi lavori, mi sono resa conto che per Tim dipingere è urgente e necessario.
Credo che proprio questa sua passione lo spinga anche a trasmetterci tutto quello che sa e che fa. Forse come accadeva nelle botteghe di pittura del Rinascimento dove immagino che gli allievi imparassero attraverso gli insegnamenti ma anche, nella stessa misura, per osmosi.
Grazie Tim, maestro appassionato e appassionante.”

“I am very happy to have found Tim in Rome, teaching his lessons in both Italian and English he brings you back into another period to learn the techniques, secrets and methods of the old masters. I recommend these classes with Tim if you are willing to put the time and commitment in, you will certainly improve your craft.”

“Tim riesce a coinvolgere con professionalità e simpatia tutti i partecipanti.
Riesce a individuare le capacità e i limiti di ognuno in una critica costruttiva e a non sottovalutare le opinioni e le domande che vengono poste.
Lo consiglio a chi ha la passione per la pittura, perché c’è sempre da imparare e non è mai troppo tardi per migliorare.”

“PADASOR’s (the Painting and Drawing Art Studio of Rome) art classes are now available on line via Zoom. Thank god for modern technology! I can now rejoin my favourite art classes live from Rome, in my studio here in Melbourne, Australia.
Tim’s amazing ability to conduct classes in both Italian and English means no one misses out on information. You’ll be amazed what you’ll produce under Tim’s tutorials, and best of all, it’s great fun.”

“Non pensavo fosse possibile avere risultati così evidenti, frequentando un corso di pittura on line. Ma Tim è stato in grado di trasmetterci passione e validi insegnamenti, documentando passo passo le nostre evoluzioni. Grazie, Tim. Questo per me è solo l’inizio….”

“Tim is an incredibly competent and well organised teacher, with a vast knowledge that he is happy to share. The learning experience at The Painting and Drawing Art School of Rome was invaluable and life changing and I am incredibly grateful that my love of painting has been reignited, thanks to what Tim has taught me.”

“I enjoyed learning with Tim how to draw a live model from the very beginning then painting in stages step by step in a friendly and calm atmosphere. It was very helpful to learn how to improve my work through several sessions of constructive critiques.
I really appreciate how Tim was answering all our enquiries and doubts patiently and taking from his time. Really it was such a productive course which I enjoyed very much.”

“Il corso fatto con te mi ha fatta migliorare perche’ ho avuto modo di “ cavarmela da sola” facendo tesoro delle tue spiegazioni filosofiche/ artistiche supportate da precise traduzioni pratiche nell’ operato. Mi accorgevo che ad ogni lezione apprendevo qualcosa di prezioso che mi sarebbe sempre servito! Grazie.”

Caroline R. – Bracciano, Italy (In English)
“‘Drawing’ is fundamental to Tim’s approach, in working from life, whether using paint, pencil or charcoal. Tim teaches by example and it is reassuring to see him constantly improving his own work, being prepared to make changes in the drawing, at all stages of a painting.
Tim encourages individuals to develop their own style, whilst observing the fundamental rules of creating form and light; it is so satisfying when you see things starting to work. Added to that, Tim focuses our attention on the importance of achieving a unified whole and selectively using contrast in the detail. Lessons are punctuated by joyful exclamations of discovery, as a glaze turns a colour into a temperature and gives life to form.
It has been amazing to see the transformation in all of our work, over the course of the programme and a privilege to work under the shadow of somebody so accomplished. I couldn’t recommend Tim more highly.”
Brandon H. – Washington State, USA (In English)
“I appreciated Tim’s classic approach; drawing and building the underpainting using the proper pigments for the foundation. Defining the values and temperature to build toward the top colors.
The zoom class is structured well. The alternating live painting instruction and critique sessions allow plenty of room for discussion as well as watching and learning.
It is enjoyable to be part of a group of like minded artists who appreciate the classic techniques and realism.”
