Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this drawing & painting class:

Discover the timeless Art of charcoal and pastel at Chelsea Drawing & Painting Workshops in the "Fundamentals of Art Workshop." Unleash your inner artist as you learn about the elements of visual language and how to analyze paintings for composition, value, and color. Learn how to mark-map your subject and draw in proportion. 

 Learn about proportion being the foundation of all the arts: painting, music, sculpture, architecture, poetry, etc. As the instructor works with each student, he speaks about Art's history, science, craft, and philosophy. Midway into the class, there is a 10min. Break to rest, see other students' work, socialize a bit, at times with some wine, and then get back to creating. There are intermittent short slide lectures about how to look at paintings in galleries and museum collections….As the 19th-century British artist John Ruskin stated, "Art is the harmonious coming together of soul, mind, heart, and hand."…Start your artist journey today at the intimate home-studio atelier in Chelsea, Manhattan, of the artist-instructor Raphael-Raúl.


All art materials are supplied by the workshop. 

Students can bring materials that they want to work with.

    This is an amazing class for beginners. Prior to first class, I had no confidence in drawing and I was very worried. Luckily, Raphael is very patient and encouraged me to continue drawing and trying. He sees positivity from whatever I drew and encourage me to modify little by little. It's a warm and friendly environment. I can seek for support when I need, and he will provide guidance based on each person's need. I thought I won't like charcoal course because it's only black and white, but after the second class, I started to understand and kind of saw the shapes that Raphael was emphasizing on. I really enjoyed the process and Raphael started from the basic, such as mark mapping, values, taking out colors with erasers, looking at the shape and how to be patient about taking the time to observe and draw. I was surprised that I can draw something and it really looks like a rose. In addition, Raphael also taught us how to appreciate artwork, which I always want to learn and I didn't expect that I can get the information in this class, definitely worth it! If you are considering taking any drawing class but scared of being judged, highly recommended this studio.

    My 2 friends and I truly loved the class. Raul, the teacher, was very patient, kind, encouraging and helpful with improving our drawing skills. I experienced drastic growth and my drawing came along well with his individual ized attention and help. The workshop’s vibes are relaxed, fun, cozy, and friendly. Will recommend it to anyone!

    Great instructor and my friends and I had a blast! We started the class with a lesson and then spent the rest of class working on a still life that Raphael set up for us. He was very helpful and kind in explaining how we could improve our drawings. Lots of fun chats and side stories to keep you entertained throughout the 2.5 hrs!
