The Cast Collection

We’ve had fun unpacking boxes and boxes of new plaster cast reproductions! Casts of great sculptures are the backbone of any classical atelier. By copying the work of the Ancients, students develop a highly sensitive understanding of proportion and value.

By the way, Laocoön is pronounced with FOUR syllables, like this!

TRAC 2014: The Representational Art Conference

My Atelier is an official sponsor of TRAC The Representational Art Conference held March 2-5 in Ventura, California. We will have a table display with information about our classes and workshops, and my instructional painting video “Indirect Painting” video will be for sale.

Last year’s conference was amazing, generating lots of dialogue about the present state and future of representational art. I’m particularly excited to hear classical painter and atelier director Juliette Aristides deliver one of the keynote addresses.

Sadie Valeri Atelier instructors Felicia Forte and James Edmonds will also be attending. We are looking forward to hearing some great presentations and participating in sure-to-be lively discussions!
