The summer atelier will feature models in the morning from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., then individual cubicle work on cast drawings and paintings, with critiques from the instructor. Beginners progress from charcoal drawings to grisaille paintings depending on experience, with mastery of charcoal drawing being the preliminary requirement. This program is the same curriculum as our normal full time program, and a great way to further your development in the classical realism style.
