A Solid Approach to Oil Painting
Instructed by Angelo Mariano
Tonal values and edges control are paramount for a successful painting. By using a
monochromatic palette, this workshop will aim to provide a solid foundation in oil painting. This method allows students a simple process that doesn’t overwhelm a beginning painter. In this workshop you will learn the basics of color, how to mix them and use them.
The Reilly Portrait Palette
Instructed by Bill Graf
Frank Joseph Reilly (1906–1967) was an American painter, illustrator, muralist, and teacher. He taught drawing and painting at the Grand Central School of Art, illustration at Pratt Institute and Moore College of Art, and is famously known for his twenty-eight years of instructing at the Art Students League of New York.
Reilly developed a popular method for setting up his oil palette for portraiture and figure painting, focusing on separating color into hue, value and chroma. Learn how to set up your palette via The Frank Reilly method with Bill Graf, Portrait Drawing & Painting instructor here at The Atelier!
