Learn how Vermeer composed and executed his paintings as you discover how Vermeer’s paintings forecasted the broken-light paint applications of Impressionism, took Genre Painting to a new level of excellence while celebrating the Ideal. Working in either acrylic or oil paints on canvas and from photos of figures in small interiors, you will create exciting paintings based on the tight perspective, sophisticated compositions and luminous color of Vermeer.

Kell, Genie BFA, MA

Genie’s Master of Arts degree from New York University and Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from John Herron Art Institute are complemented by undergraduate study at Yale and Columbia Universities and training at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Genie has lived and exhibited her art in Athens, Greece, and on the Aegean islands of Mykonos and Santorini, and, in Venice, Italy, while completing her master’s degree there.

In addition to classes and workshops in watercolor, mixed-media, composition, oil and acrylic painting, art appreciation and art history offered throughout the U.S., since 1998, Genie has offered immersion workshops in France, Italy, Greece, and Belize through her ART ADVENTURE WORKSHOPS. Genie’s upcoming workshop, Venice: The Veneto & the 2024 Biennale, is scheduled for that autumn and will include Venice in addition to excursions to Ravenna, Padua, Palladian palazzi and other historic sites along Italy’s east coast as well as in-depth study of the international, contemporary art featured in Venice’s renown biennial exhibition.

In all her classes and workshops, while Genie is introducing new ways of thinking about art, encouraging the use of new techniques, and serving as a conduit for art methods and information, her focus is on encouraging each artist to pursue and embrace the elements that ensure success as an artist.
