Art
Workshops in the United States: |
| Secrets
from the Masters Series |
| All
of the concepts, principles and techniques are demonstrated
and explained by Craig Srebnik in his workshops,
followed by individual instruction as the students
apply the lessons to their own artwork. He gives
students the understanding and skills to develop
their own vision and artistic voice by passing on
the "Secrets of the Masters"--gained from his research
in the U.S., Europe and from his own painting experience. |
The
painting workshops are open to artists
of all levels. Demonstrations are in oil,
except for anatomy or compostion. |
| |

addition to his own weekly professional program
and workshops in Boston and Paris, Srebnik
has taught workshops at: |

| "Everyone
was very impressed with your portrait and figure
painting demonstrations, your explanations of artistic
principles and concepts, and the generous individual
attention that they received.
The number of students
returning to
study with you again speaks volumes about your great
teaching skills and how much knowledge you have
to share."
Tisha Chambers: Workshop Coordinator,
Hilton Head Art League

| "Students'
work improved dramatically over the five days of
teaching. He is professional, articluate, knows
his subject matter well and extremely knowledgeable
about anatomy, painting the figure and art history.
His evaluations were superb."

Director, Laguna Art Workshops

"Craig
Srebnik taught me the anatomical structure
and form of the human figure in the
context of drawing and painting--that
you can't learn anywhere else."
