Embark on an artistic journey to capture the essence of the human form with a classical approach.

By skillfully blocking-in proportions and harnessing the power of chiaroscuro, the interplay of light and shadow, you will bring your artwork to life with a mesmerizing three-dimensional effect using techniques that masters like Da Vinci, Caravaggio, and Rembrandt used.

This course welcomes students of all levels of experience, empowering you to achieve remarkable results in depicting the human figure.

    I learned so much in this class! The teacher was patient with me, being that it was my first time painting. She taught me as much as she could in the time we had together and guided me all along the way.
