How to Draw Classical Realism
$365.00
Date: Thursdays, March 6 - April 24, from 6 pm to 9 pm
Fee: $365/discount with member code

Levels: All
Sessions: 8
Instructor: Nick Colella
Location: Schack Art Center, Painting & Drawing Studio
Learn how to create realistic works of art using time-tested methods that have guided professional artists for centuries. This course introduces students to classical drawing practices that emphasize proportion, structure, and accuracy — building a strong foundation that can be applied to any subject matter.
Through step-by-step instruction, students will learn how to establish a solid block-in with correct proportions and how to develop form and value to create the illusion of three-dimensionality on a flat page. Along the way, we’ll discuss the historical roots of classical techniques and why they remain essential for artists seeking both precision and expressive range.
The class also covers recommended drawing materials, their uses, and tips for caring for your tools to ensure lasting results. All levels are welcome — no prior experience required.
