Meet Our New Tonal Drawing Instructor

Ira Korman

Ira Korman's brand of contemporary realism fuses classical aesthetics and methods with contemporary themes. “Technically, with charcoal on paper, my goal is to create a convincing representation of the physical world through careful observation and an accurate depiction of light and form. But what’s most important is to communicate the emotional essence of my subject matter.”

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.
