Intensives: Short-Term, Full Time Study
One to Eight Weeks of Full Time Study
Registration Now Open
Daily practice is the best way for an artist to significantly improve their skills, but many serious students of Realism are unable to attend a full-time program year-round. That’s why we offer the opportunity to study at the atelier for short-term, full time Intensives.
Students can choose one or more weeks of study, full days or half days, consecutively or throughout the year, to build their own ideal program. All with exceptional instructors who share their extensive knowledge of realistic painting and drawing.
Intensive study is designed to be as flexible as possible to accommodate different schedules and lengths of study.
