CLASSICAL DRAWING & PAINTING

By Raz Seri

 

In these ongoing classes, students learn the fundamentals of how to draw with charcoal and pencil and paint using the classical techniques practiced by the European artists of the 18th and 19th centuries. Students are guided through a series of exercises that help train the eye to see and then draw accurately.

​

Students begin by copying master drawings made by Charles Bargue.​ Later, students draw from plaster cast reproductions of classic sculptures with charcoal. Continuing students learn the fundamentals of oil painting in grisaille, to model form showing light and values.​
