“The class in France will be limited to a very small group of students, so that each will have as much critique time as they can absorb. It is a rare opportunity, similar to private lessons.”
Course description.
Instruction will be in the form of demonstrations, accompanied by explanations of the principles being demonstrated, and as much individual critique as you can absorb. Explanations will be phrased in simple easy to understand language. No sophisticated-sounding but semantically dubious university-speak.
The principles are rather simple ideas, but they may be new to you.
What is complicated however is that there are a lot of them, and they all must be harmonized and coordinated together. There are two categories of the most important principles- Light and forms. Without light all is darkness, forms are invisible. Without forms to reflect it, light too is invisible. To suggest what the eyes are transmitting then, we need a comprehensive understanding of the effects and actions of light, and a very extensive knowledge of human structure.
The actions and effects of light will be analyzed. They seem to be consistent, logical, and coherent. I see a lot of erroneous information out there about how light works.
I believe that the treatment of the structure of organic human forms and the effects of actions upon them has not previously been taught in such detail.
We will study what appears to be the amazingly “designed” character of Nature’s human forms.
Yes, the subject is vast, but in one intensive month I can show you what there is to learn and how to represent it. At the end of the session I want you to leave on a higher level.
Your job will be to keep a very open attitude, pay close attention, and never to hesitate to ask if you need clarification. It’s very exciting to learn new things! I hope you will join us, Ted
Drapery on the model
Learning how to paint clothing is very important. The great majority of people who commission their portraits prefer to be painted wearing clothing. Most art school programs concentrate on the figure and face. The clothing is often not well understood.
To paint clothing convincingly, it is necessary to understand both its special shapes and gestural effects. Most of the shapes are repeated, like themes with variations. The effects of different actions are dynamic and esthetically very beautiful.
I want to equip you with a comprehensive understanding of the clothed body. It’s exciting to do!
Before we enter the studio, we both need to check our egos at the door!

Per Ted: “I give demos as needed, for as much time as needed. I don’t follow rigid schedules. My teaching style is organic-a response to what I feel the students most need at any given moment. There will be lots of demos, but not on a fixed schedule. Very often when I am critiquing a student’s work I see something that everyone should hear, so I ask them to gather round. After a demo or explanation, I often pick a student and ask them to explain the principle just mentioned.”
