Atelier Information

Thimgan Hayden Studio

 

The Atelier is designed for the beginner to advanced student who is looking for practical, traditional instruction in drawing or painting either for their own enrichment or professional goals.

Each student will be guided through drawing and/or painting projects which will serve to build an understanding of the elements of representational art.  Students will learn about the practical application of line, volume, chiaroscuro (light and shadow contrast), color mixing, and artists' materials.  Beginners may start drawing using the same basic program of study used by the French Academy.  They will then progress to more challenging projects such as still life painting and drawing and painting the portrait and figure using the sight-size method. 

Located in historic downtown Plainwell, Michigan, the studio provides a quiet, low-stress environment with each artist working independently and at his or her own pace.

Schedule:

The studio is open Monday through Friday with flexible hours.  Each person is working on his or her own project and will receive concise instruction in addition to informal learning opportunities. Other opportunities include group discussions, trips, an annual show as well as an excellent resource library.
