Mini-Comprehensive Atelier Registration

This workshop will be a comprehensive introduction to the world of oil painting, designed to follow Year 2 in a classical atelier education and to give artists a solid foundation of good working habits.
"This four-session curriculum spread over the course of a year will take students on a journey from the foundations and nuances of drawing all the way to full palette oil painting and color theory. Designed for all levels of students, it is a rare opportunity to participate in and learn the foundational skills, knowledge, and practices of a comprehensive and sequential classical atelier educational program.
Through demos, lectures, and practice, students will learn a clear process for navigating the drawing and painting process, with each course building upon previous lessons and segueing into the next."-Paul Rosiak

BIO:

Paul Rosiak studied drawing and painting at the four-year intensive Aristides Classical Atelier under Juliette Aristides. He has studied at Gage Academy of Art in Seattle, spending a year sculpting écorché to learn anatomy of the human form. He continued his study through workshops, studying both drawing and painting with artists such as Tony Ryder, Steven Assael, and Michael Grimaldi. Before studying art, Paul studied Philosophy and English at Claremont McKenna College and Mansfield College at Oxford University. In his final year at Gage Academy of Art, he won Best in Show for his painting Fall. He has had paintings and drawings exhibited at Maryhill Museum of Art, and has been featured in Beginning Drawing Atelier, Artists and Illustrators UK, Plein Air Magazine, and Southwest Art Magazine, where he was most recently featured as one of the top 21 Artists Under 31 to Collect. In his own work, one of his goals is “to find and convey the beauty and design in often-overlooked everyday things, and to affirm the dignity and value of human life and uniqueness of each individual person. Working from life is integral to this process, as the connection and focused attention of a human spirit in an age of speed, distraction, and the virtual is one of the things I wish to maintain and give to the viewer”. He has taught drawing and painting in private and group lessons for many years and strives to combine a strong passion for learning and teaching with a broad educational background to create a unique approach to help students navigate their artistic journey towards mastery.

SYNOPSIS:

ALLA PRIMA FLORAL PAINTING

February 17, 18, 19, 2023

Over the course of three days we will explore the wonderful world of painting flowers together. Students can expect to come away with a stronger sense of how to compose and design interesting arrangement of flowers, how to approach a floral painting from start to finish and navigate the shifts from flowers opening and moving. Through demos, talks, and lots of painting students will learn how to more accurately and expressively draw with paint. Students can expect to come away with more confidence in how to mix and capture the vibrant colors of flowers, how to use texture and different brush techniques to create more variety and interest in their paintings, and how to see and depict value accurately in high chroma colors

COLOR WORKSHOP WITH STILL LIFE

March 17, 18, 19, 2023

Over the course of three days we will explore a variety of concepts and techniques through alla prima still life painting. Students can expect to come away with a stronger sense of composition, how to perceive and depict objects with a greater sense of three dimensional form, and how to capture the uniqueness of different textures in still life painting. Through demos, exercises, and daily painting, students will come away with more confidence in drawing, mixing colors, and creating variety in edges to achieve greater expression and accuracy in their paintings.

FIGURE DRAWING IN GRAPHITE

September 29, 30, October 1, 2023

In this workshop students will learn how to create more dynamic and lifelike figure drawings. Through demos, lectures, and practice, students will learn a clear process to navigate a figure drawing, aiming to take fear out of the process and replace it with a relaxed, focused attention that allows greater perception and understanding of the natural world. Concepts and techniques that will be covered will include dynamic and rhythmic gesture, accurate proportion and measuring, structural anatomy, and three-dimensional form.

Achieving a good beginning to a drawing is one of the most important skills to learn. The first day will be devoted to short poses, giving students multiple opportunities to practice the skill of beginning a drawing in a way that sets one up with a solid foundation for success. The next two days will allow students to develop these ideas in more depth with a longer drawing.

The first half of each day will explore these ideas through demonstration, lecture, and Q and A. In the second half, students will draw from the model and receive one- on-one critiques.
