In this workshop, students will explore efficient ways of representing clothing and drapery through a series of lectures, demos, and drawings of the nude and clothed model.
Just like the human figure, clothing has an anatomy. And, as with drawing the nude, drawing the clothed figure becomes a simpler task once the component parts of drapery are well understood.

Jon deMartin's Classical Life Drawing Intensive, on March 23rd and 24th, was a great success. The classroom was packed on both days, and participants were highly appreciative of Jon's lectures and demos, as well as his guidance on working from the model. Thanks again to Jon and to all who gave such enthusiastic feedback.

'Farm Pond,' by David Peikon, 30 x 40, oil on linen
"Dave Peikon is an accomplished, successful professional artist who is equally talented in the classroom. His many loyal students are inspired by his obvious love for his craft to work hard and enjoy the beauty of creating a piece of art.
Dave's ability to spend time with each one of his students, helping develop their skills, is amazing. His approach-emphasizing the importance of observation-is simple, informative, direct, and clear, and his down-to-earth attitude creates a wonderful camaraderie.
I was fortunate to attend Dave's recent solo exhibition at Old Westbury Gardens, and experienced first-hand his magnificent paintings. It is a privilege and an honor to study with him."

Starting February 18th, we are offering a wonderful new
half-semester class with Lauren Rosenblum:
In the November 2011 issue of The Artist’s Magazine, we share 28 tools you can’t live without in the feature article, “Tools That Are Tried-and-True.” In this excerpt, Robert Armetta shares his tip for checking proportions while painting.
“An inexpensive pair of plastic calipers enables me to check proportions easily and more accurately than simply using my thumb and the back of a paintbrush, which is the more common method. Because of the points on the calipers, I can check subtle proportional relationships between the corners of the eyes in a portrait, for example, and compare them with the width of the mouth.”
