Artful Painter Podcast: Kyle Buckland - Making a Difference

Kyle Buckland's bold paintings are deeply rooted in the philosophy and approach of the impressionists. As a teenager, his interest in art began to edge out the interests of most youth - skateboarding, team sports, or playing in a band. He became an art nerd in high school, using every available moment to devour the small selection of art books found in his school library. He didn’t just read books, though. He went outside and painted. And painted. And painted.
That hard work paid off. Kyle has won many awards for his impressionistic paintings. His work is represented in hundreds of private, public, and corporate collections around the world. His paintings are filled with rich colors and luxurious brushwork. Surprisingly, some of his largest works are painted outdoors! Kyle captures the experience of painting outside on his inspirational KZbin channel he calls The Artful Souls. There you can watch him paint on canvases measuring up to 48 by 48 inches.
Kyle now resides in a small nineteenth-century farmhouse/studio in Abingdon, Virginia, with his lovely wife, Jennifer. However, if you knock on his door, you likely won’t find him home. He’s probably painting either out back in his stand-alone studio or somewhere out in the beautiful Virginia countryside. One thing is for sure: wherever you find Kyle Buckland, whether he’s painting outdoors or in his studio, or teaching a class of eager students, you can be certain he is making a difference.

I’m a huge fan of yours and this was a wonderful interview. Thank you for your generosity. You inspired me to Plein aire paint four years ago and I’m addicted.

What a good idea! I’ve painted from photos but I never thought of doing a video of the area to look at while I’m painting. Thanks for the tip!

While it’s not a substitute for being outdoors it’s a nice option when you can’t be outside 😎
