Drawing Programs, Flexible Schedule (Manila)

(Open only for enrollees who took Classical Drawing Basic and Drawing 1.0)

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. 

Building up Underpainting

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.

Layering Colors Made Easy

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
