Students will be instructed on identifying color and form and transcribing them onto the canvas. The course includes at least two different subjects and each class features discussions, materials and demonstrations. |

Classical cast drawing techniques enables the artist to improve his or her ability to identify shapes and values of any three-dimensional subject. The student will be taught on how to use charcoal, pastel and other drawing aids to make an accurate reproduction of a white plaster sculpture. This time honored approach of academic drawing has been used for centuries by European Art Schools and is considered a necessity to develop eye/hand skills for oil painting and sculpture. |

Intermediate to Advanced
This class assists the student with the process of making an accurate reproduction of a subject using photographs or digital images. The step by step process begins by developing drawings of the live model and then preparing the canvas using this study with the photographic reference. We will also be focusing on a variety of oil painting techniques including alla prima (one-day sitting/ thick application) and glazing. Students are instructed on identifying values of light and color and transcribing them onto canvas.
Previous oil painting and drawing experience is recommended. |
