At Princeton Academy of Art, our academic programs are deeply rooted in the classical tradition, drawing inspiration from the Russian academic tradition and the influential curricula of the Italian and French Academies.

Students learn to begin working with an underpainting in earth tones to establish values and structure, followed by the gradual application of glazes to build depth and vibrancy, as well as direct painting methods. 

These techniques are paired with the study of constructive drawing, a cornerstone of representational art. Students develop a strong foundation by deconstructing complex forms into simple geometric shapes and mastering proportion, perspective, and anatomical accuracy. This approach allows artists to create advanced compositions with precision and accuracy.

Dates: Fridays 9/26/25, 10/3/25, 10/10/25, 10,17/25

Time: 10:30AM - 5:00PM

Location: 138 Nassau St, Floor 2, Princeton NJ 08542

This four-week, once a week workshop offers an in-depth study of Impressionist approaches to still life painting. Students will explore characteristics of the Impressionist tradition, while developing sensitivity to composition and atmosphere. Working directly from arranged still life subjects, participants will gain practical experience in capturing live impressions and translating them into paintings.

Instruction will include demonstrations, individual critiques, and guided studio practice. Students sre asked to bring their own oil paints. We recommend the Marie's Oil Color Set or similar colors.
