Art Courses for Advanced Students
Workshops at the Quinlan Visual Arts Center are an important aspect of Quinlan programming and are opportunities for intensive study with nationally recognized artists. Workshops are not always recommended for absolute beginners.
The sessions are strenuous, meeting for several days at a time and for up to seven or eight hours a day. An understanding of the basic materials, their properties, fundamental principles of color theory and design and several previous classes in the medium are the suggested prerequisites in order to receive a true benefit from the experience.
2009 Workshops:
David Leffel, September 29 - October 2, 2009, $850 (+$30 model fee)
David A. Leffel will return to the Quinlan to teach his much
anticipated workshop on Painting Portraits and Still Life in Oil for

instructor of artists, Leffel's workshop is often sold out, so call to
reserve your space today (770) 536-2575.
Author of An Artist Teaches: Reflections on the Art of Painting,
David A. Leffel is truly a 21st Century "old master." Leffel studied
both at Parson's School of Design and the prestigious Art Students
League of New York prior to becoming a teacher there. Best known for
his abilities to render light and shadow in what has been likened to
the Flemish/Dutch old master tradition, Leffel remains the premier
instructor to many professional artists. It is a rare privilege to
study in an intimate workshp setting with an artist of this caliber.

Wayland Moore of Emory University wrote:
"I
would like to introduce you to an artist I am very impressed with. His
art caught my eye at an exhibition and I knew I wanted to learn more
about him. I have been an artist for over fifty years with exhibitions
in the US and Europe, and have been an instructor for twenty-one years
with an evening class at Emory University in Atlanta. This does add up
to knowledge of what good quality art is all about. I did meet this
artist and his name in Jon Houglum. When you look at his painting of
landscapes, they turn the eyes back to the eighteenth century when
every brush stroke made a statement to the viewer. In his paintings,
you see and feel moved by the moment. All my art history from college
came rushing back with exhilaration and respect. This is an artist, Jon
Houglum, whose work you must see to realize what I speak of. “
