Masters of Classical Painting – Painterly and Technical – A Painting Course

This course features three prominent Asian-American Masters in contemporary American Western Art: Mian Situ, Benjamin Wu, and Zhaoming Wu. These oil painters all began their careers in China, eventually immigrating to the United States and furthered their artistic training while becoming highly sought after and collected artists within the American Western Art Genre.

Through their extensive classical training and eventual evolution in American Art these artists have each found their unique voice, from impressionism to classical realism. Students will learn techniques, touching on traditional compositional elements – creating subconscious structure and harmony, to loose, expressive, impressionist strokes, implying and describing subject matter in its essential form.

This Course includes an all-inclusive resort package at the 5-Star, 5-Diamond Broadmoor Hotel
