About the Atelier

An Atelier, in the original usage of the word, is simply the studio of an artist, wherein his (or her) works are created, and in which a small number of promising students receive instruction directly from the Master of the atelier.

Book Update

The book I have been writing for twenty-one years is now available. This is my book on oil painting, which my students insisted I write back in 1986. The publisher is Watson-Guptill Publications. The title of the book is Traditional Oil Painting: Advanced Techniques and Concepts from the Renaissance to the Present. By now it should be in stock at most book stores and on-line booksellers. Click on the image below to order it from Amazon.com.
