Yes. All our classes are open to students of all levels of ability and experience.

No. Since some students already have their own materials, charging a default materials fee can get complicated. It's just simpler if everyone does their own shopping. We do sell "Materials Kits" for some of our workshops, which can be purchased at check-out when you enroll through the website. We offer this as a convenience to our students to save them a trip to the art supply store. Alternatively, a list of recommended materials will be emailed to you when you enroll if you'd prefer to shop elsewhere.

No. The model fee is built into the sticker price of each workshop.

No. All our workshop sessions are for enrolled students only.

Sorry, but no. We'd love to have you in the studio, but we ask that everyone commit to the whole workshop.

Not really. Oil paint is the preferred medium in all our painting workshops, although ocassional accommodations are made for students wishing to use other media.

Some workshops may feature similar methods and are able to be “piggybacked” in the studio at the same time. For example, we may have Figure Drawing and Grisaille Painting students working at once, since the focus of each is primarily on drawing the figure. An instructor can easily accommodate both, and the cross-pollination of information can make for a richer experience for the students. Bargue Drawing and Cast Drawing is another good example.

Unfortunately, no. Our workshops are scheduled within specific windows or time — usually 5 consecutive days. Once a workshop is over, it’s over.

We offer refunds for workshops to students who withdraw from class less the $50 registration deposit, provided they do so before the start of the second class session. Once the second session has begun, however, no refunds will be granted.

Because of the digital nature of our online courses, however, no refunds will be granted. All sales of online courses are final.
