The Living Art Program is designed for artists of all ages and levels of ability, from professionals seeking to expand their skills to talented school students just embarking on their artistic journey. The Program entails approximately four years of study. Under the direction of Marina Bichinsky, renowned realist painter, artists at Living Art Studio practice the techniques of drawing and painting as the foundation for creative expression and meaningful visual communication. Working in studios, artists progress from basic skills, such as gesture and proportion, as they draw in charcoal, to more advanced color study and other dynamic techniques as they paint still life, the figure, portraits, landscapes and interiors. Students study in intensive small groups with instructors whom Marina has trained and with guest artists who are masters in their own right. The Program also addresses the practical skills necessary for a successful career, such as writing an artist’s statement and preparing for an exhibition.
