This course of study is designed for students who are ready to take their drawing & painting skills to a higher-level incorporating methods that have been passed down through the ages that are still available today. These methods offer a much more efficient and effective way to achieve life-like, 3 dimensional-appearing results and a level of refinement in artistry that stands the test of time. If you have a strong desire to hone your skills and try a different way of seeing, drawing, and painting this is a potentially on-going course that can help you achieve a level of mastery that is well beyond the usual. Group and individualized instructions will be used with demonstrations and drawing/painting-along-side-you assistance. Practice and critiques between classes is offered and encouraged.
This class was designed so that you can take it either in-person or via Zoom.
SKILL LEVEL:
This class is designed for intermediate and advanced level students.

| Instructor Bio: |  Drawing and painting have been comforting and solace to JANA STILES since childhood. The process nourishes her as nothing else does. Studying with various academic instructors and university professors Jana was left with a hunger for more serious art training and feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to study at the Atelier of Paul Ingbretson's School of Painting and Drawing in Manchester, NH. Paul is one of the very few master teachers who carry on the lineage of the Boston School Painters. From Sargent to Tarbell, Wm Paxton, Frank Benson, the Hale's, Gerome, Velasquez, and JL David the influence of combining the best techniques of color and immediacy of the Impressionists with the skill and accuracy in rendering from the Old Masters and Classical Representational Art is what these painters bring to an unparalleled level of contemporary fine art that will stand the test of time. In addition to the skills and practice of drawing and painting Jana has a fascination with the Creative Process itself, what influences seeing and translating visual impressions onto 2-dimensional surfaces, what internal barriers prevent progress, and how we as humans tend to talk to ourselves while being creative. With a background in Humanistic Psychology and decades of providing professional Health Coaching, she is skilled at helping people move past unhealthy patterns by supporting what is most natural and positive about their unique process. Jana enjoys setting a warm and supportive atmosphere when she facilitates any form of adult learning. It just works faster and better for everyone! Visit Jana Stiles's Website |
