Bay Area Classical Artist Atelier

Description

The Bay Area Classical Artist Atelier was founded to further the practice and education of artists working in the Old Masters methods in the Classical Realist tradition.

Students will work on one drawing/painting over the course of the workshop. We’ll begin with a long form drawing to develop the portrait to a solid structural finish using simple light and shadow shapes as well as locating landmarks throughout the head. Once this drawing is ready students will transfer it to a fine textured linen. Then begin blocking in large lights and shadows by simplifying them down to a few values, in the lights and shadows then working with a middle range of values.

Taught 2009 “If you are searching for an instructor who has extensive information, presented in a clear and understandable manner, I highly recommend that you take advantage of the workshop presented by my former student, Dennis Cheaney. He has a very clear grasp of my principles, and teaches them quietly and patiently, but effectively.

“Controlling the Creative Process” is a painter’s guide that offers step by step photographic demonstrations and instruction on the preparation of oil paint, canvases, and frames using traditional methods and materials. At 130 pages, with more than 200 color photos illustrating every stage of the process, this book is one to have by your side, in the studio, or at home in your private collection.
