This class introduces students to the basic concepts, materials and methods of drawing.

Every assignment focuses on a different topic (contour, value, perspective, chiaroscuro, etc.) designed to develop the student's drawing proficiency. This class is tailored to beginners, as well as seasoned artists, seeking a comfortable but challenging setting to elevate their skillset and to explore the beauty and endless possibilities of drawing.

In this course, students will first design still life arrangements in the studio, and will then proceed on to painting. Great attention is paid to accuracy of the drawing, relative values, and observing the light flowing over the form. While great emphasis is placed upon observation, students are led to go beyond mere observation, and encouraged to design a rhythmic composition.

NEW CLASS!
Instructor: Angelo Mariano
We are excited to introduce painter Angelo Mariano to the Atelier at Flowerfield!
With the use of oils or acrylics, Angelo’s instruction will focus on advancing your observational skills to then lay the fundamentals of good color and composition. As a student you will then apply these principles to realize vibrant, painterly work. Mariano encourages his students to push the boundaries of realism and abstraction, experimenting with textures and brush strokes, while also gaining the foundations for drawing and painting.
