Description

Discover the timeless Art of charcoal and pastel at Chelsea Drawing & Painting Workshops in the "Fundamentals of Art Workshop." Unleash your inner artist as you learn about the elements of visual language and how to analyze paintings for composition, value, and color. Learn how to mark-map your subject and draw in proportion.

Learn about proportion being the foundation of all the arts: painting, music, sculpture, architecture, poetry, etc. As the instructor works with each student, he speaks about Art's history, science, craft, and philosophy. Midway into the class, there is a 10min. Break to rest, see other students' work, socialize a bit, at times with some wine, and then get back to creating. 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.

Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting (For Two)

Anna Cho • April 6, 2025

My husband and I took this course as a way to get reintroduced into drawing and could not have asked for a better teacher than Raphael to ignite our passion to explore the arts and also appreciate life around us through the lens of an artist. Raphael not only teaches techniques such as mark mapping, grayscale values and working with charcoal, but also helps with your mindset towards the arts. I am a perfectionist and the arts always intimidated me because I always compared myself to artists who worked years at their craft and found my own art lacking. Raphael helped me overcome that mental obstacle and encouraged us to embrace our mistakes and reiterated that as a beginner its normal to make mistakes and that there is no shame in making them. Mistakes help us grow and even start to understand how to improve and even great artists take years to feel satisfied with their works. We are both so appreciative of being able to work in his art studio and have a meditative space to draw and polish our observation skills as we work on still life. It has felt like a little pocket space outside of the hustle and bustle of the city outside. Our skills have improved drastically from the first session to the last and we are looking forward to booking more time with Raphael who has been an incredible teacher. We love that he encourages us to appreciate our peer's work and share the things we love about their work because seeing their growth and talent is inspiring and their encouraging comments definitely make you feel more accomplished about your own work. I highly recommend Raphael and his class whether you are a budding artist or an already accomplished one because he is an encouraging and funny teacher. Always walk out of his class with a smile because we had a great time even after a long day.
