Meet Aidan Barker-Hill

The fine artist and fine art instructor lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Barker-Hill (@aidan_barker_hill) comes from an artistic family, his grandfather being an architect, took young Aidan sketching in their hometown of Reno, Nevada. The architect also showed our fine instructor, artists like Rembrandt and Andrew Wyeth. This early exposure instilled in Aidan a love for realistic figurative art, and at 18 he chose to go to art school at Laguna College of Art and Design.

On a less exiting note he also knows how to clean brushes...! And he will teach us how to do just that! He can't instruct us on how to have an architect grandfather or how to choose to go to art school at 18 unfortunately but perhaps he can show us his love for art... The art of cleaning brushes! A way to instill disciplined cleanliness, like in Karate Kid: "Paint on, Paint off!"

"The exhilarating experience of trying to accurately capture another person directly in front of you is something I will never tire of." - Aidan Barker-Hill

Meet The Course

Aidan Barker-Hill whom we already know teaches the Domestika course on realistic figurative painting with acrylic and oil paint. And you guessed it! The following downloadable is just a tiny part of the whole course! Yes, Aidan knows how to teach more than just cleaning brushes!

In this course Aidan will share with us his knowledge and techniques for creating realistic and detailed works of art, showing us his full painting process. You will explore the fundamentals of figure drawing and essential painting techniques, allowing you to bring your own artistic creations to life... I think the metaphor of "bringing creations to life" is overused though. Do you really need it to be alive? Be careful of what you paint then! Don't let it make you into the painting and worst of all, leave your brushes all dirty, afterwards...!
