Advanced Workshops offer a higher level of instruction in classical drawing and painting to students seeking to improve their skills and understanding. Students will work on more advanced topics as well as longer format, more arduous projects during these courses. It is recomend, though not required, that students have taken the introduction to classical drawing workshop prior to attending these workshops.
What you can expect from ZAFA lessons.
Well organized and structured lesson plans that introduce concepts and then build upon those concepts to more and more challenging subject matter throughout the course.
Live demos. The teacher does all projects alongside students as a running demo to explain techniques and demonstrate each step of the process.
One on one instruction. Whether in private lessons or group workshops, the classes are structured in such a way to allow for lots of one on one instruction and individualized critiques. This allows students of various skill levels to work side by side without anyone feeling they are being left behind or held back by the group.
Students are taught applicable tools and techniques to demystify the art process. These are practical tools in the artist toolbox, that once learned, are guaranteed to improve one’s ability to draw or paint what they see.
Upcoming Workshops
An exploration of color theory
April 23rd to June 11th
Thursdays from 5:30-7:30PM
This workshop offers a structured exploration of color theory as it applies to oil painting. Students will investigate the color wheel and color relationships, learn to control value through tint, tone, and shade, and develop an understanding of color temperature, chroma, and neutralization. The course will also cover limited palette mixing, color schemes, and practical design principles such as the 60/30/10 rule. Through guided exercises, still life studies, and master copies, students will gain the tools needed to use color with greater clarity, harmony, and confidence.
