My name is Alan G Shiner. I started painting at an early age as a result of watching my father paint holiday scenes on the windows in at the Detroit Airport for North Central Airlines. Does anyone remembers that airline. I believed I had the same talent as my father and wanted to be just like him as most every young boy would. In third grade, I received a large art box filled with an assortment of artists' supplies. I gained more confidence and began excelling in art and won many art contests as a kid in elementary school. During this time my elementary teachers told me they had to let some of the other kids win, even if my art was the better. I understood and wanted the others to feel the good feelings I had when I win. I started to make pastel drawings for all of the teachers and they love it. I really enjoyed having something I was good at. Soon my teachers had me decorating the class room and hall cork boards in the school and making the programs for the school plays. I would draw scenes and cartoon characters on large white rolls of paper playing with color and outlines and working out perspective. As I developed into a teen we moved to Palm Beach FL. to the town of Wellington. I had business cards made. "Art Work By Alan" My first entrepreneur experience. I still entered contest in high school and painting on windows for holidays. I then began to do window lettering as well. Soon I began to get jobs with the local businesses including the local insurance company. I would repaint the lettering and designs on window that would get broken out and had many parents that I babysat for ask me to paint there windows for holidays like Christmas and Easter. Growing up and moving a few more times and graduated High School in Riverside Ca. I continued to worked in a creative field most of my life. Now a days I am an interior designer and I often incorporate my own art into my designs with commissioned paintings that I designed specifically for my customers own style and space. Filling as many walls as they will let me. When I am painting, I tried to always reflecting sensitivity and vision in my paintings by communicating visually through a new and unique style and twist to create a brand-new understanding of the realities life presents in a world that is constantly changing. Often painting what is in front of me and sometimes from current event photo references. I establish paintings with a feel of Contemporary Impressionism and sometimes Abstract Expressionism qualities. I strive to design paintings with confidence and boldness of color by taking daring steps towards inspiring a brand-new view of the world; always reaching for an inspirational moment to record in our devouring times.

Mission Statement:

As an artist, my mission is to survive in a style of painting that allows me to continue to make art that captivates people and compels them to buy it.

My Oil Painting Classes:

If you would like to try painting outdoors with a loose, quick and impressionistic style, learn the how-to of composition, value and color, I will help you take the mystery out of plein air painting and take your paintings to the next level. Learn to paint alla prima (in one sitting). Show off your art work! Each session will include a one-hour demonstration in the morning on how to select a subject, use color to display light, and plan and execute a finished piece. During the afternoon, we will break for lunch. In the last hour, I will provide individual help; making sure everyone completes a finished painting. Be prepared for the day's weather conditions!

Spring, summer, and fall Plein air sessions on Fridays: $50.00 per hour. We meet from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm in Door County, WI or Upper Peninsula of Michigan, depending on area attendance. Light lunch included.

Practical indoor studio winter painting sessions on Thursdays: $40.00 per hour. Still life or paint from photo reference. We meet from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at my studio location in Green Bay WI, Brown County. Light lunch included. If you don't have your own Pochade boxes and supplies yet, they are available to rent.
