Todd Casey
Color Theory & Still Life
Workshop
We're excited to welcome Todd Casey to The DaVinci Studios.
This 4-day workshop will encompass lectures, demonstrations, and the practical application of how to paint a still life. Todd will cover what to paint, composition, how to set up a still life, understanding light in relation to a form, color, and how to apply all of these concepts into a successful painting.
What to expect:
- The first half of each day will be a lecture and a demonstration
- The second half of the day will be students working on their own painting where you will receive individual feedback from Todd.

More about Todd
Todd M. Casey was born and raised in Lowell, Massachusetts. His artistic education includes a BFA in Communication Design from Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, Massachusetts.
After receiving his degree in 2001, he moved to New York City where he worked as a Graphic Designer. He then relocated to San Francisco to pursue a Masters in Animation at the Academy of Art. While taking the foundation classes for his MFA, he discovered that his true passion was painting. Decision made, he soon returned to New York City to the studio of Jacob Collins at the Water Street Atelier and began his classical painting training in 2007.
Casey’s work touches on more than simplistic realism. There is a haunting, nearly literary quality to each frame... a feeling that subjects are viewed from behind mottled glass, burnished by enigmatic candlelight, or brushed by the soft, hazy edges of a half-remembered dream. His work is classically styled but progressive in approach. Every painting has a tale to tell, brewed from a deep well of introspective thought.
His paintings have been honored with many awards, including first place four times at the Portrait Society of America’s Members Only Competition, and first place in oil painting with The Allied Artists of America. His work can be found in collections throughout the United States, and on the East Coast at Rehs Contemporary Gallery, in Midtown New York City, and Simie Maryles Gallery in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
Since then, Todd has made the transition from painter to author and teacher. He published his first art book The Art of Still Life in 2020 His second book His second book, The Oil Painters’ Color Handbook came out in August of 2022. His work was also featured in Cocktails: A Still Life, by Christine Sismondo and James Waller. He has a new book coming out in the Fall of 2026!
When not painting, writing, or illustrating, Casey teaches classes for the Massachusetts College of Art and The Academy of Art University Online, The Art Students League of New York, and through private online classes and workshops.
Casey lives in Connecticut with his wife Gina, and their daughter Scarlet. When not painting, writing, or teaching, he enjoys reading and spending time with his family.
