Juliette Aristides Workshop - Once in A Life Experience

Over the weekend, we hosted Juliette Aristides for her 3 Day Figure Painting Workshop at Kline Academy.

The workshop was comprised of theory and application principles. In the morning, Juliette gave her students a lecture and a demonstration, and students did sketches from the model related to the lecture which included the theory of using value, warm/cool limited palette painting and full color. In the afternoon, students did one extended painting created with a tonal under painting and building up color.

This step by step application was remarkably effective that every single student showed a success in the process as well as the piece he/she created.

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.
