Drawing And Oil Painting Lessons
Beginners Or Experienced Artists Welcome.
Flint Hills Fine Arts is a small studio in the heart of the tallgrass prairie, offering classical instruction in drawing and oil painting in the style of a traditional atelier.
The Method
Instruction rooted in classically trained painters
Students progress at their own pace through a sequence used by academic ateliers for well over a century. Students start with the fundamentals and make incremental improvements towards more complicated subject matter.
Form & Shading
Students, after demonstrating an understanding of sight size measurement, will learn to draw forms and accurately shade using a variety of materials.
Bargue Master Copies
Students, using the skills gained under Section I & II, will further develop by copying drawings of famous sculptures called Bargue plates.
Introduction to Oil Painting
Students will learn the fundamentals of working with oil paint, including materials, color mixing, brushwork, and basic painting techniques.
Value & Color
Students will develop their understanding of light, value, and color while working from simple still life arrangements and progressively more complex subjects.
Portrait & Figure Painting
Students will apply the skills developed in earlier sections to more challenging subjects, including portraits and the human figure.
