Description

This long pose figure drawing and painting class focuses on composition, proportions, gesture, values, color, and oil painting technique.

Working from a live model, students will learn the direct alla-prima approach, aiming for strong draftsmanship, accurate values, and skillful color application. Developing these fundamental painting skills, particularly learning to mix colors at the correct value and place them strategically within the composition, requires consistent practice and instruction.

The class features ongoing demonstrations and critiques to support your learning. Students of all skill levels are welcome to attend.

Classes are limited to 10 students per session. 

Please Note:

Materials are not included or provided by the instructor. Students are responsible for bringing their own supplies.

  • Cancellations requested 2 business days or more before start of class may be refunded less 5% cancellation fee.
  • Reschedules are allowed if class is not taken (no refunds at this point). Class credit is valid for two months.
  • In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

    Great professional instruction. Accommodating to student various needs. My progress was obvious with instruction very one on one. The June Tuesday Thursday program classes offered and day time made it very convenient. And building elevator made it accessible Highly recommend. I’ll try to go again when can get to nyc in the future.

    I took my first class in long pose figure drawing with Roy. He is a phenomenal teacher and artist. I was feeling very out of my league having never drawn based on a live model but he quickly guided me and put me at ease. The vibe of the class was relaxed and the small group was perfect since we all got a lot of attention and there were regulars in the class who were very friendly. I highly recommend this class and Roy as a teacher!

    I had a fantastic time doing this class. I had virtually no experience yet everyone was incredibly welcoming and kindly offered me guidance, helpful tips and direction throughout. I loved it so much I booked myself into a second session only a couple days later!

    I had Roy as my instructor, what’s great about the class and Roy is that I feel like that the class is like an old friend. Immediately I was welcomed no matter my amateur painting skills. The class was super informative, personal and professional.

    The class was not what I expected but was fun. Roy was unobtrusive but very helpful in his feedback and suggestions for improving the sketches I was attempting. Everyone was very nice, and we'll likely take the class again another time.
