DAVID A. LEFFEL

OIL PAINTING - THE STILL LIFE & FIGURE

May 10 – 14 & August 16 – 20

Tuition: $500 + $25 model fee

David Leffel will approach the "act" of painting by giving the student a rational way to understand the how's and why's of painting and how to use value, color, edges, and paint to construct a painting. Leffel says, "Art is a delicate balance between the visual concept and the artist's technique. The concept (pictorial) and the technique (craft) must be fused inextricably. The student strives to ...be free from painting "things." Learning all the technique in the world will not teach you to paint that which you do not see. You can only express on canvas what you are at the time you are painting."

THE INSTRUCTOR: David Leffel instructed at the Art Students League of New York from 1971 - 1992. He graduated from the Parsons School of Design and studied under Frank Mason at the League. He has won numerous awards, including gold medals at the National Academy of Western Art, Allied Artists of America and National Academy of Design. A true master, Mr. Leffel offers an exciting week of demonstrations in still-life and figure and portrait work. All who have studied with him have returned again and again to gain more insights from this very special instructor.
