“The quality of the other students stood out immediately – skilled and serious about their work. But also, generous with sharing techniques and fun to hang out with, both after class and during too.”

Learn to see — and render — the world with depth, conviction, and craft.
This ongoing atelier-style course guides students through the full arc of historical artistic training, from foundational charcoal drawing to oil painting. You’ll develop a rigorous understanding of value, form, atmosphere, and surface texture through cast studies, self-portraits, and still lives. Every technique builds toward one goal: making a flat surface come alive.
Students begin with drawing before advancing to painting, progressing at their own pace through a structured, individualized curriculum. Whether you’re building foundational skills or deepening an existing practice, this course meets you where you are.
Ongoing enrollment. Students may join the afternoon or evening session based on availability. Admission is by portfolio review.
