At the Atelier, there are two main learning tracks. Each is tailored for your needs.
Professional Skill Development Track
This track is most appropriate for students who are working to develop outstanding realistic drawing and painting skills. By learning both classical and contemporary realist methods students are enabled to develop their own artistic voice within the genre. First year studies begin with a disciplined drawing approach. This transitions into monochrome painting which leads to limited palette painting and the use of contemporary "high key" colorist oil painting methods with a focus on narrative composition. (Includes homework assignments) Tuition begins at $50/hour and students graduate to learning groups which are $50/day plus free studio time outside of class for those in advanced standing.
"Paint-Along" or "Draw-Along" Track
The "Paint-Along" or "Draw Along" learning track is for artists of any experience level who enjoy drawing or painting as a hobby and want to continue growing their skills by seeing a side-by-side demonstration each week. This learning approach is a great way to gain studio experience, have fun, learn useful new tips and get hands-on help to create finished drawings and paintings every time. (Homework is not required.) Tuition is $50/hour.
Note: Both tracks begin with a private assessment with the teaching artist followed by a series of 5 private drawing lessons. After completing this short "intensive" series, students meet with the instructor to review goals and select the most appropriate path for your needs. Call to schedule your visit.
