"Botkins was very fortunate to host Craig Srebnik for a 5 day oil painting workshop. The participants are still talking about it. Everyone learned a great deal, picking up tricks and techniques that will be incorporated in future portraits. I personally learned more art history in a week with Craig than in years in college. I'm looking forward to attending another workshop with him when he returns to the area." Dan Knepper, Workshop Organizer, Botkins Art Workshops ." Dan Knepper, Workshop Director, Botkins/National Endowment for the Arts Workshops, Ohio

"I would recommend that any serious artist participate in Craig Srebnik's Workshops. He reveals the 'secrets' of the Classical through Nineteenth Century Masters in an intense, yet easy to understand, hands-on studio setting. Srebnik's mastery of what he teaches is evident in his paintings, which rank among the finest I have seen. " Steven E. Emmons, Owner/Director, Crown Fine Art Workshops, Oregon

 

"I continue to hear great feedback from artists that attended your workshop at Fine Artists Factory. While visiting their studios I have noticed that they have studies they produced in your class proudly on display. They have also mentioned they look forward to receiving your email updates. I look forward to working with you again in the future." Mark Wood, Owner/Director, Fine Artist Factory, Pasadena, California

"Just wanted to express my total appreciation for all you did in the workshop to make yourself available to us. The fact that you are offering this availability to us even now is truly awesome; I have studied with many teachers over the years and have never really had such an offer from them – at least which sounded this sincere. So thank you. The workshop was everything I was hoping for, yet far more as well. Also, I want to express how grateful I am for all the knowledge you passed on to us – you are a veritable encyclopedia of information about art history and how it applies to us in the pursuance of our art (note emphasis). It has really encouraged me to explore art history on my own since I’ve returned from your workshop." Katherine Taylor
 
"I am a Fine Art major and I came away with more practical information than from an entire semester of painting classes. Craig methodically worked with the class, providing us with a strategy that could be effectively used to replicate good results ouside of the classroom." Cheryl Thompson
 
Atelier/Weekly Art Classes
"I started the Atelier program as a novice painter and within a year I was exhibiting my paintings and teaching. The program focuses on concepts, principles and techniques so that each artist develops the ability to express their own artistic vision." Gary Oro
 
"Having admired Craig Srebnik's skillful and sensitive portrayals of the human figure for many years, I was thrilled at the chance to study with him. My enrollment at Atelier Srebnik has greatly impacted my own figure work, through Craig's enlightenment of classical academic painting methods and an in-depth study of figure structure. Extremely generous with his knowledge, Craig is entirely committed to the advancement of his students' work." Kim Gorrasi
 
"Artists need to understand human anatomy--especially the skeletal structure and musculature-in terms of three-dimensional form and movement, combined with artistic qualities like beauty, harmony and proportion. Srebnik has this knowledge to offer to you." Sanja Percac, M.D., Ph.D., Mt. Sinia Hospital, New York Former Anatomy Lecturer, Harvard Medical School

Now I feel that I am in control as my career expands and my artistic vision evolves." Bren Bataclan

Art Museum and Gallery Tours

"The gallery tour really helped 'break the ice' for my wife and I about visiting art galleries and dealers. Craig's talk helped us to understand and distinguish different styles of art and techniques. It has enhanced our enjoyment and appreciation of the artwork in galleries, museums and in our own home. " Jon & Olga Turcotte
