Classical training for the aspiring professional artist.
We provide artists with a skill-based education in representational drawing and painting techniques. Rooted in the great tradition of the European Atelier, our curriculum takes inspiration from the schools of Renaissance Florence to the 19th-century École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
