Ken is probably best known as a pastellist. He is a member of the British Pastel Society and still shows his work at their annual shows at the\u00a0Mall Galleries<\/a>, until quite recently demonstrating to crowds of eager artists. He is also a member of\u00a0La Societe des Pastellistes de France<\/a>\u00a0and was awarded the title of \u2018Master Pastelliste\u2018, an honour very rarely given to an Englishman. He went on to become Vice President of that society. The following is a quote from the then president, Monsieur Jean Pierre Merat in 1987<\/p>\n

\u201cI am privileged to give great praise as I have found someone of great artistic ability. He is a natural master. I state with all my heart his talent will always be recognised not only for today but for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

There will be a great number of readers of this article who are aware of Ken Paine\u2019s work, some of whom will have been taught by him, others who will have seen him demonstrate and many who will have seen his work reproduced in magazines and gracing the walls of galleries. The Sky Arts programme \u201cKen Paine – Painting Faces\u201d, where he discussed his approach to painting, demonstrated his teaching methods and finished by painting and talking to the actor Joss Ackland, was seen by viewers all over the world. He is passionate about his work and, in turn, his paintings convey that depth of feeling.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The Christian by Ken Paine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A new book, written by Ken\u2019s partner of some 11 years, the writer Penelope Lee, tells the fascinating story of this artist\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Ken\u2019s talent was first discovered by his art teacher at school.
\n\u201cBob Tanner (\u2018one and six\u2019 as the children called him), a man to whom Ken\u2019s artistic talent shone like a beacon. He begged the headmaster not to cane Ken\u2019s hands believing him to be that rare and wonderful thing … a natural talent.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

His upbringing was unusual by any standard. His mother died when he was just 13 months old and he was brought up by his father with the assistance of his Aunt Louise in the early years and from the age of 11 rather haphazardly with the assistance of his sister. His father, having originally been on the stage with his wife in music halls, was a property master in the film business and was responsible for instilling the young Ken with an understanding of light and shade; balance and shapes.<\/p>\n

\"La<\/a>
La Primitive by Ken Paine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today Ken uses\u00a0Daler Rowney acrylics<\/a>, almost exclusively – especially\u00a0Paynes Grey<\/a>;\u00a0Titanium White<\/a>;\u00a0Yellow Ochre<\/a>;\u00a0Quinacridone\u00a0Burnt Orange<\/a>;\u00a0Cadmium yellow<\/a>;\u00a0Burnt Sienna<\/a>\u00a0and sometimes one of the blues (this varies) and he purchases these from Jackson\u2019s Art Supplies. He will sometimes add the odd\u00a0Golden acrylic<\/a>\u00a0to his range of colours. When it comes to pastels, he now prefers\u00a0Unison<\/a>\u00a0and has been loyal to that company for many many years. He again is able to purchase his needs from Jackson\u2019s and a particular favourite is what he calls \u2018madder brown\u2019 but which is actually one of the earth deep reds\/browns, depending on what exactly takes his fancy at the time. He uses black; white; red\/grey; ochre etc… He chooses\u00a0Canson Mi Teintes<\/a>\u00a0paper (again from Jacksons), usually mid grey.<\/p>\n
