Long Overdue Update! All is well!

Now that the pandemic is not plaguing us as it once did, my atelier activities are progressing. We love living in Florida, and we dont get hit with hurricanes much at all up in Northern Florida! Very grateful, sad for those south of us on coastal areas that do. 

I teach a full atelier program to a small number here in our new state, Florida. 

I teach a drawing from life course at Flagler College in nearby St. Augustine, Florida. 

I have been active in a nearby gallery during our move here and the pandemic. Several honorable mentions and a best in show and a sale have made me quite pleased along the way! 

I will post some pictures below, and if you would like a more frequent update, please see my Instagram under my name, or my FB under my name, where I am much more active.

We have moved to Florida!

Hi all, 
A post to update my news! We have moved to Florida! I now will be teaching in my new state! I have been busy painting and reorganizing the studio and its teaching activities. I love the weather and the beautiful landscapes, seascapes, trees, flowers and weather! I have many folks here who are very eager to learn the Boston School painting I teach and practice. I am still an approved Art Renewal Center atelier, https://www.artrenewal.org/Atelier/Index/10172 and I hope to have images soon of my teaching activities in the sunny south! 

Please check back as the fall semester gets underway. Please also be patient, as the pandemic restrictions have affected all of us in our business!
Thanks, 
Sandra

New Year! Art Renewal Approved again!

Happy New Year!

Looking forward to another year of drawing and painting! I enjoy my atelier teaching and work, and I just love painting! I can loose track of hours when painting, I am happily lost in the work, a certain sign that this is my passion!  I often look and the clock and am surprised I have passed so much time at painting, having thought I had only begun.

My atelier has been Art Renewal center approved again and our seal of approval is below! I highly recommend visiting their website clicking HERE, and view my atelier page clicking HERE!


Below are a few picture of an oil painting this year from my atelier. I especially love (my student has not completed it yet, but I love the process) :





And here is an interesting article to read: HERE.


That's all for now, thanks for visiting! ---Sandra

Register now for my 6 week class at the Newburyport Art Association! We will cover some classic atelier lessons!





  • Classic Atelier Strategies for Any Artist
    September 25, 2019 - November 13, 2019
    9:30 am - 12:00 pm
This class will teach time-tested classical atelier projects, useful for any artist, even those with no previous training. This “old made new again” approach to art training is very popular today. It can help any artist add valuable skills to his toolbox and can help improve accuracy in his work, no matter what style or genre he works in.
Atelier projects begin with pencil work with one “sight-size project,” next, a “copy a master-work” drawing, and finally, one “relational drawing,” either in charcoal or pencil, of plaster casts or still life objects. Then, using these atelier skills, future classes will move on to relational atelier painting in oil. For these six weeks, we execute classical drawing projects using pencil (or charcoal), and we work standing at easels.
Class limited to 8 students.
Class details:
Wednesday, 9:30am-12:00pm
September 25-November 13
(no class Oct 16 & Nov 6)
15 hours of instruction
NAA Members, $240 Non-members, $270
