Cast Painting

Portaiture
Composition

Students who have entered their second or intermediate year of study have acquired the necessary basic drawing skills to begin painting in oil. At this level, students concentrate on tonal values, and work in an ordered regimen of grisaille, limited palette, and, ultimately, full palette. Advanced students use the traditional palette on the figure and portraits, and full palette on still life. At this point, we introduce painting techniques, pigment grinding, the use of medium and the preparation of canvas and grounds. We believe that a deep, practical understanding of materials and methods enriches both the flexibility and subsequent refinement of a painter's mode of expression. During the optional fourth year of specialization, advanced painters work to realize large (life size) projects, like full-length portraits.
