David Leffel and Barbara Hershey visit with Cheryl Kline at Kline Academy.
Today was a wonderful day. Barbara Hershey (yes, the awesome, beautiful actress) brought her friend David Leffel to my studio today to discuss the possibility of doing a portrait workshop and live demo. Hopefully I will have some good news for everyone soon with a workshop announcement dates, etc with this masterful artist, David Leffel. (Isn't he dashing?) I could have talked to them for hours. I will keep you posted.

I've been interested in signing up for a class but keep putting it off. I stumbled onto the photo of Barbara Hershey and David Leffel who visited with you in March. Has anything been arranged with David? I would love to meet Mr. Leffel, I hear he's a real character. I'm also a huge admirer of Ms. Hershey. What was your impression of her and have you spoken to her since? Thanks so much for any information.

Why take classes at Kline Academy?

With the impressionists and later contemporary artists, classical painting techniques were practically abolished. Trends changed and rather then incorporating centuries of painting knowledge, art schools basically “threw the baby out with the bath water.” During the Renaissance, painting techniques were passed down from master to student.

Only in the past 5 or 10 years have there been a new group of private ateliers in America as well as some universities that are trying to teach figurative painting techniques that demonstrate the magic that can be produced with a glob of color and a simple brush.
