Experience our full-time program in a week-long workshop.

Life drawing is at the core of any serious program of fine arts. In the class, students draw from the figure in pencil. Each drawing is created over a period of several sessions, developing the student's eye for accurate proportions, gesture and anatomy.

This workshop introduces and builds upon the essential principles of color study and their practical application in painting. Through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, students will deepen their understanding of how to observe, interpret, and utilize color relationships with greater sensitivity and accuracy to reflect the lighting condition, the complexion of the model and the environment. While principles regarding tonal relationship will be discussed as well, the primary focus of the workshop is the effective use of a chromatic palette.

Instruction is tailored to each student's skill level rather than following a fixed schedule. While individualized guidance is central to the course, this workshop is best suited for students with drawing foundation.

Model poses will range from 1 to 6 hours in the beginning of the workshop and will end with a 2-3 day pose. This workshop is ideal for students with basic drawing experience who are ready to deepen their understanding of color.
