The ability to translate the 3 dimensional observation of a real object, be it an apple or a portrait of a person, into 2 dimensions on paper or canvas is the first step in artistic competency. We stress the importance of of training the an artist’s eye by working from life or the Old Masters. Those classes begin by introducing the concept of Line first, then we incorporate the concepts of Value and Color, respectively.

You’ll find them listed below with the term “Foundations” in the the title. If you are a total novice, we highly recommend one of our Foundations classes. Students looking to learn traditional techniques and creative strategies can find a unified curriculum in the classes of these artists. They are each different in approach, but with the same underlying philosophy. Our faculty are trained professionals who have achieved a level of success in their own work that qualifies them to teach others. They can interact with the instructor and ask questions, getting coaching from qualified professionals with lots of personal attention. Students receive personal feedback and critiques, one on one with the instructor.

You can rewatch a given lesson as many times as you want within the session you are enrolled. Thus, missed classes or time zone differentials are not a major concern. We offer up close camera views of both instruction and process, in drawing, painting, oils, watercolor, ink, digital media and a variety of other formats.Īll of our online classes are recorded and made available for viewing for the duration of the session. The biggest advantage of our online studio is that students get an over-the-shoulder view and an opportunity to learn from a perspective that would be impossible in a large classroom.
