This course is an excellent opportunity for painters to hone their figurative technique and narrative pictorial skills while elevating the conceptual level of their imagery. Taught by five prominent innovators in the areas of fantasy and fine art, sessions will be conducted through open assignments, intensive critiques and handson demonstrations to help each student develop a cohesive and personal body of work; and be that much closer to preparation for professional gallery walls. Note: A portfolio review is required for acceptance to this program. Participants will have access to a semi-private studio space for the duration of the program.
