There are intermittent short slide lectures about how to look at paintings in galleries and museum collections….As the 19th-century British artist John Ruskin stated, "Art is the harmonious coming together of soul, mind, heart, and hand."…Start your artist journey today at the intimate home-studio atelier in Chelsea, Manhattan, of the artist-instructor Raphael-Raúl.
