Vinogradova Art Studio

In this class, I teach classical drawing based on the traditions of old masters. The focus is on rendering a convincing depiction of three-dimensional forms and spaces on a flat surface. Lectures, demonstrations, and drawing exercises investigate basic principles of perspective and composition, developing light and shadow shapes and finishing artwork with precision. C omplexity will progress from compositions involving simple still life objects to cast figures. Some examples of expected results may be found at Charcoal Studies. The class is oriented at the adult audience, but we had youth as young as 11 years old doing very well in this class. Individual work at home or at the studio is encouraged between scheduled classes.

Class curriculum and goals are agreed upon individually. Personal needs and goals are discussed, and together we develop a customized curriculum that fosters progress toward the student's goal.
