Painting the Portrait Tuition $499 A basic painting process - provided and followed in class - gives an ideal platform to further explore universal visual principles. Students analyze the subject of portraiture through the following concepts: shape, value, color, edges, paint handling and the conceptual understanding of light on form. Students progress from linear drawing to blocking-in, tonal painting and finally to full color painting with poses ranging from 3 hours to 12 hours. Instruction is given at the students' easels and through demonstrations and lectures.

Color Studies: Still Life and Figure Tuition $499 When the impressionists took their paint boxes outside to paint, they discovered that the shadows are not shades of brown and gray as had been painted by their predecessors. In the fleeting sunsets and sunrises, Monet discovered that the same haystack took on different colors and painted it the way he saw it. At its core, one’s reaction to color is visceral and intuitive. How can one then systematically study and learn the use of color in painting? The best approach is through understanding color relationships. The best way to understand color relationships in the context of painting is through doing series of color studies. In this class, we’ll discuss the concept, purpose, and process of color study in depth. More importantly students will have the opportunity to do many color studies. Initially, they will work from the same still life set ups together, so as to observe how they each paint the same set up differently and learn from each other. As they understand the process better, they will then move on to setting up their own still life arrangement and working from it. As the class progresses, we will discuss issues such as paint layering and treatment of edge relationships. Jafang Lu was awarded a Merit Scholarship at the Art Students League of New York.

Head Structure Sculpture Tuition $499 The students will create a life-size head study from a model. A successful method of creating an accurate head study of a model will be taught. This method relies on simplified abstraction of forms initially, understanding the basic bones structure, musculature and the relationships between forms.This method teaches a practical system for artists to understand how a head is constructed and feel confident in their future head studies. Armatures are required. Do-It-Yourself plans are at Armature Plans.
