Kris Finch Portrait Painter

Kris is an excellent teacher and artist. He taught me how to lose some bad habits and take risks with my paintings. He’s very patient and will take the time to show you the techniques to improve your skill.

Kris is an excellent teacher. His patience and talent made the experience so enjoyable. I’ve learned a lot from him and it has built up my confidence whenever I approach a new painting, whether a portrait or landscape. I’ve done both in his classes and I’m really happy with the results. From drawing to finished painting, Kris was happy to keep me on track to get the painting I was hoping to achieve.

I checked out one of Kris Finch’s portrait-​painting videos on YouTube and decided he looked like the instructor for me (representational art, yay!). I started taking his classes a little over a year ago. Suffice it to say, I’ve continued to sign up with each new session because Kris is such a wonderful teacher! In fact, he has acquired a devoted group of us students who enjoy his instruction so much that we continue to sign up class-after-class…a real testament to his skill.
Kris is a tremendously talented artist as well as teacher. His work is really beautiful! We’ve often commented in class that it’s such a relief when Kris offers to take a seat in front of our paintings when we’re «stuck» because he can always fix it with a few well-​placed brushstrokes and/​or corrected color and set us back on track!
Kris is adept at teaching at any skill-​level in both drawing and oil painting disciplines. Beginners and more experienced students of any age will benefit from taking lessons from him. Plus he’s a super-​nice guy — no attitude :) — just patient and great to work with!

I have taken private lessons from Kris Finch in order to learn how to paint realistic portraits. He is an amazing teacher! If you are ever interested in learning how to paint, Kris can definitely help you!
Also, he is incredibly reasonably priced when it comes to commissioned portraits. I’ve seen some pieces he was working on for others and was really surprised at the great price he offers for a beautiful portrait. Anybody can take a picture of someone these days, but if you really want to do something special wouldn’t it be really cool to get a portrait done instead? – he ultimate selfie! I’ve seen him do drawings and paintings as commissions and they are all incredible!
He has a pretty good facebook page which showcases his work and his students work. Searching for kris finch art should bring you to his page!
