Are you a former student of Jan's? Don't miss this opportunity to study with a living master artist. Ironically, the workshop will be held in Jan's old studio which once was Bruchion School of Realist Art, now Kline Academy of Fine Art. Jan's teaching changed my life and took me from a "wanna be" artist to an artist who is proud of what I create and making a living at it! I think this is an awesome opportunity and I do hope that his former students or any one who knows of his extraordinary talent will join us.

Grigor's painting workshop is Phenomenal!!

Grigor-Drawing-header


5 Week Florentine Style
Figure Drawing / Painting Workshop

Instructor Grigor Chilingarian, 
Five week course ---$325 (includes model fee)


We are completely booked for the Grigor's Figure Drawing/Painting Workshop. And we have a huge waiting list for his next workshop. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity. Grigor's an amazing artist with a down to earth positive attitude. His Florentine technicality will make you better than what you are now. I visited to take a class for the drawing portion. 

When entering his class he will tell you to stand 5 feet away from the easel (a reference point) and to gaze at the model you are drawing. From there you begin to draw the human figure in simplified Angeles, composing a counter of the human body. A process similar to sight sizing. Which increases your skills of observation. This is the prelude to the painting portion. 

If your looking for a remedy to help out your figure drawing/painting needs. I highly recommend in taking his class.
