Weekly Classes: Atelier (Studio) Program
Secrets from the Masters
The Atelier, or weekly art class, is based upon the European Classical tradition and designed for students who want the benefits of intensive workshops combined with the continuity, momentum and progressive, long-term development of a weekly program. They also enjoy the comraderie and experience of painting with other artists working towards similar goals.
The weekly demonstrations and painting projects teach the foundations of European Classical through Nineteenth-century painting--Classicism, Baroque, Rococo, Realism, Naturalism, French and American Impressionism and Tonalism; and the skills to paint nude and clothed figures, portraits, children, still lifes, street scenes, landscapes and gardens. Each week, Craig Srebnik demonstrates and explains concepts, principles and techniques, 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 "Secrets of the Masters"--gained from his research in the U.S., Europe and from his own painting experience.
The Atelier Program is open to artists at all levels, from beginner to professional, as individual instruction is tailored to each student's needs and goals.
 
 
Each Week:
Painting demonstration
Individual instruction
Projects; exercises and hand-outs, as required
Periodic open painting sessions at the classroom to continue on class projects together or work on other paintings
Demonstrations are in oil, except for anatomy or compostion.

"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
 
"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." Jun Lu, M.D., Ph.D., Dept. of Neurology, Harvard Medical School & Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
 
"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
