Known as a brilliant colorist\, Frey paints Maine’s harbors and islands with a bold and sensitive palette that captures the light and moods of his home state\, from the streets of Ellsworth and Portland to Monhegan and Acadia National Park. \nStudent Testimonials \n“My four week private mentorship with Philip went beyond my expectations. Philip’s style of teaching and one-on-one zoom sessions were efficient and extremely helpful. The exercises and lessons were thought provoking and challenging\, and his feedback was clear and constructive\, offering tools and resources I could immediately put to use. New to online learning\, I found it delightful – I could immediately integrate it into my daily practice in my own studio. His friendly demeanor made for an absolutely wonderful experience. I look forward to more workshops with Philip in the future.” – Sally Dean\, Marshfield MA \n“Philip Frey is not only an inspiringly dynamic artist but a patient and insightful teacher. His workshop transformed the way I look at the world and how I now approach the ever daunting blank canvas….which is now with confident intention! Having access to and learning from an artist of his caliber is truly a gift.”– Queenette Santiago\, Petaluma\, CA \n\n“I have taken many YouTube workshops\, two workshops abroad\, and several online\, and Frey is my favorite teacher—so clear\, so many helpful techniques to apply\, and so kind and insightful in his critique.  This sets the stage always for a wonderful experience for everyone.” – Patricia R.\, NH \n“Everyone has a different approach to a painting project—its composition\, shapes and forms\, the colors\, and\, of course\, the process of applying paint. I think of it as a puzzle to solve\, and Frey taught me how to break down the process into solvable pieces. The discussion after painting was invaluable. I’ve been in reviews where an instructor would say\, ‘Did you think about this…\,’ or ‘Perhaps a little more color here…’ However\, Frey’s approach using Procreate to ‘adjust’ the composition\, color\, or depth of the image is amazing and powerful. Great tool\, and a great way to learn more about the process of thinking about painting composition and technique.” – Bruce H.\, Melrose MA \n\nwww.philipfrey.com \nPhoto courtesy of Philip Frey\nPhoto courtesy of Philip Frey\nPhoto courtesy of Philip Frey\nPhoto courtesy of Philip Frey\nPhoto courtesy of Philip Frey\nPhoto courtesy of Philip Frey
