CCAE Studio School offers a group of coordinated classes that focuses on perceptual drawing and oil painting. We are interested in helping students develop skills that enable them to record and interpret, analyze and express. We are geared towards painting and drawing from life, stressing the importance of spatial relationships and careful observation. For more information, visit ccae.org/studio-school.

We will work with live models most of the time.
STUDIO SCHOOL DRAWING Jeremy Durling | Artist, jeremydurling.com
This drawing class will use the figure as a basis for understanding basic drawing elements such as line, form in space, spatial relationships, light and dark, gesture, and composition. Beginners will be welcomed and continuing students will also be challenged. Some classes might also include interior drawing, still life, and landscape. COURSE CODE: IDRW Sec. 01: 8 Wednesdays, 2-5pm. Begins Sep. 15 | $415
PAINTING FOUNDATIONS: STILL LIFE AND LANDSCAPE Jeremy Durling | Artist, jeremydurling.com
You will be guided through a series of foundational color experiments involving personal still life setups. These ideas will then be applied to simplifying landscapes while working from a photograph. Learn the fundamentals of oil painting in this intensive, structured developmental painting program. We’ll stress visual language elements such as composition, observational measurement, values, space, and mark-making. In addition, we’ll utilize a series of limited palettes to build strength and understanding of color theory and color mixing. Oil paint is the preferred medium, but students who are comfortable using acrylic or gouache are welcome to do so. COURSE CODE: PFPH Sec. 01: 9 Tuesdays, 9am-12:30pm. Begins Sep. 14 | $390

This class is designed for students who have a firm understanding of the basics of oil painting and are ready to move ahead into a more personal discovery of their intentions and visual language. We will have models and still life setups. This class is solvent free, oil being the only addition permitted to the paint. Drawing experience and at least four terms of Painting: Foundations are required.
PAINTING FROM LIFE: THE FIGURE & THE PORTRAIT Jeremy Durling | Artist, jeremydurling.com
This class will focus on accurate observation and structural understanding of both the portrait and the human figure. We will seek to translate these complex subjects to their simplest terms and methodically build our painting from a foundation of simple but essential color relationships. We will work with a live model from direct observation. COURSE CODE: PLFP Sec. 01: 9 Tuesdays, 1:30-5pm. Begins Sep. 14 | $550
PORTRAIT DRAWING AND PAINTING: WEEKLONG INTENSIVE Jeremy Durling | Artist, jeremydurling.com
With the use of models, we will do various exercises (both quick and longer-term) to analyze the face and its relationship to the entire head. We will begin the week drawing the portrait, using line & value in a variety of dry media. We will then progress to painting discussing color as it relates to skin tones and begin to find out where “likeness” comes from. Drawing and painting experience is required. COURSE CODE: PDPI Sec. 01: Monday through Friday, 9:30am-12:30pm. December 13-17 | $495
