COMPLETE IMMERSIVE PAINTING PROGRAM-  (CIPP) Ongoing

The C.I.P.P. is designed to equip aspiring painters with essential technical skills and art historical knowledge to nurture their personal artistic potential. The program is sequentially structured into three levels. Entry into Level 1 of the CIPP is open to anyone of any experience level. There are no prerequisites other than dedication and commitment to learning. However, given that the integrity of the CIPP is based on sequential learning, entry into Levels 2 and 3 of the C.I.P.P require the completion of the preceding level/s. 

Level 1:  Focus areas include:

• General Painting Principles
• Composition
• Drawing Techniques
• Traditional Tonal Painting Processes (Still Life & Portraiture)
• Color Theory
• Conceptualizing a Painting
• Image Generation from Drawings & Photographs
• Image Transference
• Completing a Painting

Level 2: Builds on Level 1 and includes:

• Drawing & Painting from Direct Observation
• Alla-Prima and Broken Color Techniques
• Landscape Painting & Figure Drawing (may include sessions with a professional model at an additional cost)

Level 3: Expands on previous levels and introduces:

• Auto-generating Imagery
• Abstraction Techniques
• Developing a Personal Style

Progression: The time spent at each level varies based on individual experience, application, and studio time, typically ranging from 3 to 6 months per level.

Personalized Mentoring & Coaching: Throughout your journey in the C.I.P.P., you will benefit from dedicated mentoring and coaching to help clarify your artistic ideas and achieve your personal goals.

Exhibition Participation: At the completion of any program level, selected participants are invited to join our group exhibition program at Gallery Elysium. Here, you will learn to design, market, curate and exhibit your work as part of an advertised commercial gallery exhibition.
