The atelier method reflects the classical academic tradition of the dedicated study of human form as observed from life. The core program consists of inter-dependent courses in cast drawing, mentoring in anatomy, portraiture and still life and short and long pose figure study that gradually orient the student to novel processes that enhance observation and form sensibility. These courses are for all levels of experience with an emphasis on drawing before students develop their skills as painters.

The atelier program allows for ‘rolling’ admission, at any level of progression, with each session offering a specific focus to help the student acquire a coherent working process that fosters skill development and an aesthetic that appreciates beauty through the truthful depiction of nature.

In season, periodic Mini workshops will also be available for the student to explore and refine core drawing concepts in a more expansive range of media.
