Weekend Portfolio Program

Our Portfolio Weekend Programs offer artists the opportunity to concentrate on skill development in specific areas of realist drawing and painting. Students experience focused study in small, intensive groups led by professional artists. Courses and lectures are conducted at Studio Incamminati’s main studios in Center City, Philadelphia.

Portfolio Program participants and alumni receive invitations to lectures and special events at Studio Incamminati. All are welcome to join Professional Program artists in Open Model Sessions on Sunday afternoons from 1:00 -4:00 PM.

In 2007-2008, the Portfolio Program schedule is as follows:

Fall: September 16th - December 8th
Winter: January 6th - March 29th
Spring: April 6th - June 28th
   

Each program runs for twelve consecutive weeks, with one extra for any make-up days. Enrollment for each course is limited and is first-come, first-serve.

Oil Painting: Still Life and Figure

Robin Frey
Saturdays,
9 a.m. - noon

April 12 - June 28
Tuition - $450
One of the most exciting, challenging and rapturous facets of painting is the process of layering pigment to create an escalating crescendo of light through the use of color. With studied control, tangible qualities of texture, luminosity and depth can be attained on the canvas.

Through a combination of studying from both still life and the figure, students in this course will learn how to maintain volume, color and light through the many stages of a painting. The importance of a moving and meaningful composition will be discussed and encouraged, as well as the never-ending goal for better drawing, better edges, and better color throughout the course of painting. Students of all levels are encouraged to join this course, however, beginners are recommended to use charcoal as a learning tool in the early stages of the course before embarking on the study of color.
