2024 INTENSIVE WORKSHOP (DRAWING TO PAINTING)

No matter what age or stage you are in your art journey, whether you are a serious beginner or the advanced student who wants to continue your art discipline, this program is for you.
Learn timeless methods used by masters of classical art. Discover the most effective way to develop your drawing and painting skills.

Renaissance masters typically started with drawing to seek ways to represent ideal forms and beauty. At Galvez Atelier, the student will understand the importance of lines when drawing. He or she will observe and apply techniques in implying textures, rendering details, deciphering tonal values, creating implied depth, and molding shapes by distinguishing light from shadow. The student will also learn to compare parts to a whole and how they generate organic unity as seen in the form. 

Life drawings refer to portraits or the full human figure that are rendered based on an actual model posing inside the studio. This method will allow the student to grasp the three-dimensional form of the body or the face and observe poses of figures. The student will understand balance in visual weight and the nuances of gesture. Meanwhile, sessions in portraiture will allow the student to learn the anatomical structure of the face, proper blocking, and simple techniques to capture the likeness of the model. 

After learning the fundamentals of drawing using pencils, the student will learn to render forms using the brush. He or she will be introduced to the medium and the tools of oil painting. The Galvez Atelier Traditional Oil Painting  have several components.

Gaining Control Over Color Mixing

The student will learn to work using limited colors to gain a more efficient understanding of the color palette. He or she will learn processes in achieving color harmony and balance by identifying color groupings, distinguishing color temperatures, and understanding contrasts. The student will also increase his or her sensitivity to tonal values and composition. These processes will allow the student to paint efficiently, a skill needed when the student eventually uses other  fast drying media like acrylic. 

Fine art works in the canon of art history should serve as exemplary models not to intimidate but to emulate. At Galvez Atelier, the student will experience the time-tested methods of classical masters. Underpainting provides the foundation for applying multiple layers of colors in succeeding processes.

 Color is light. Our summer art workshops teach how each layer of colors channels light. The student will learn the correct way of applying layers of colors. This segment shares similar principles in watercolor painting
