Instructor Charlie Antolin leads a still life demonstration.

The Old Master Drawing & Painting Technical Foundation Class

$500.00/monthly
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays
6:30 PM to 9:30 PM in-person

This class is an ongoing atelier-style course, taught by Charlie Antolin, which begins with drawing exercises in charcoal to develop the understanding and skills necessary to use value (tone) for realistic rendering. Visual memory comparison measurements are used. Painting will begin once students have mastered the drawing segment of the course or its equivalent (subject to approval).

Students will explore Old Master techniques for creating depth, distance, atmosphere, solid form, and convincing surface textures on a two-dimensional surface. Subjects range through cast studies, self-portraits and still lives.

Admission is by portfolio review.

Long Pose Figure Drawing Workshop

Drop in: $35/session
Pay in advance: $30/session
Mondays
6:30 PM to 9:30 PM in-person

This is a time for independent study and development of individual initiative. The model takes one pose for the session. These are repeated for about two months and, when desired by a majority of those participating, even longer. This permits students to study the anatomy of the model in detail. A marvelous opportunity is also presented to gain experience in the final finishing of a figure drawing or figure painting. There is no instruction during the workshops, but critiques are available during regular class hours. Drop-in is welcome.
