Spring Session 2: Starts Feb 26 2025

In this 6 week class, we will learn how to paint a portrait from life, learning such skills as blocking in the portrait, dimensions and proportions of the head, looking for light and shadow shapes, modeling three-dimensional form, and getting a likeness. 

DaVinci Studios is excited to announce our newest course, Atelier Studies. Our curriculum provides a clear progression and development for any artist interested in academic realism.

Making a master copy is a challenging and fun way to gain insight into the work of an admired master while gaining new knowledge of composition, color, and paint handling.

More Feedback 

"Robin is an amazing artist and instructor! She has the ability to translate her knowledge into very understandable information. She is able to identify students needs and provide them the tools to improve their skills. So happy to have found The DaVinci Studios!

"I wanted to learn from Robin because her portrait work is so incredible. She has taught me so much about mixing colors, painting from life, and the classical steps of creating a portrait from start to finish.  Her class has been such a blessing to me!"

"Painting a portrait is the ultimate painting skill. Robin teaches how to start a portrait and progress to the final stages where the painting comes alive. Her teaching uses both technical proportions and facial planes while you learn color mixing and how light and shadows play on the face. If you want to learn to paint, Robin is the best teacher I've ever had"
