Classical Drawing

art schools and liberal arts colleges with departments teach the art theory and modern art without proper training in basic drawing and painting. My main interest lies in classical realism, Realism Contemporaray, academic art, still lifes and portraits. Where can I obtain the skills necessary to become a successful painter?

You should try a "workshop" school. They appear more and more. A good website to see "approved" is artrenewal.org workshops. Its Renewal Center of Art. I know one in Rhode Island called the New School of Classical Art. danalevin.com website. This is a very concentrated learning, you will work hard and get results in painting and drawing there is no way you would get in a regular art school. In workshops you get individual attention from your instructor, you get to see how they operate and manage their studio. For someone who wants to be a painter, I think, is the only way.

Go to a university, major art, then do 2 years in a school of art mastery of painting.

Search Rochester Institute of Technology. I looked into it a few years ago, and I remember they had a very good choice and great art. Good luck.

Academey San Francisco Art teaches everything. They are an amazing school. Including a year and a half basis, then your art major in any field.

Well, if you want to paint the houses, you should go talk to Pablo n Nem on the corner you. They allow you to start the next day for $ 8 an hour to start depending on your past experience. Now if you want to learn to paint pictures, you should join my school Doctor J @ e art and crafts .................. Doctor J @ e

In fact, many colleges no longer teach the subjects of art. Have you tried to look beyond your immediate area?

Both USC and UCLA in Los Angeles offer classes in figurative drawing (drawing from nature), and Cal State. These three also offers painting classes. My alma mater, TCU, has offered many classes and those offered scholarships to promising artists (such as scholarship Norton). My ex-girlfriend teaches painting at Cal State Northridge.

The problem with many schools of higher education is that they assume you already had the basic training. It's like offering a college freshman English school. Most colleges do not permit such a course, because they figure you would not even be in college if you have not already learned basic English.

Many junior colleges offer beginner classes in both drawing and painting classes for adults offered in both subjects.

As for being a "successful painter, my friend, most of the world's best artists know never learned their craft in a university. The skill levels they have learned the craft were killed by their own path and error process of learning or study in other artists.

I hope I have a little help. And if being an artist is in your blood never give up, never stop trying to be as good as you can be.

California College of Arts and Crafts;
they teach "everything". I graduated
from there, and my work is very
Advanced thereafter. They are in Oakland
and San Francisco, California.

They don `t offer that. If your good your probably more realistic than your teachers who are not artists and 3 / 4 of your friends "should not even be there. Just accept it, and everybody `s shit being arrogant. Be humble. Try to develop your own program of study under an accomplished artist, a person `s work you admire on the spot. Tr
