Charles Bargue Drawing Course
The Bargue drawing course is one of the most popular classical art drawing courses in the world.
Draw from the same Bargue art plates as artistic masters like Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh and thousands more artists.
Traditionally the art student would copy master drawings and then plaster casts of sculptures and monuments and then finally from life.The Charles Bargue master drawings are a series of prints ranging from simple to more advanced drawing. Training the eye of the student to understand the effects of light and shadow, the illusion of form.

CURRICULUM
What you'll learn at the Creators Workshop
Fine Art Instruction....
The Creators Workshop Way!
DRAWING & PAINTING
Drawing
We are enhancing are drawing and painting classes with more serious methods of studies.
Our drawing classes incorporate a modified version of the classical drawing course formulated by Jean-Léon Gérôme and Charles Bargue in the late 1800's, one of the most influential art-education programs in the world. From Paris to London to New York, major museums and art schools used the course. Students from Diego Rivera, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh and hundreds of other art students spent weeks and months making exact copies of the lithographs of plaster casts, great master drawings, and life drawings.
Many great art schools and ateliers around the US today still utilize the Bargue method and are rediscovering its value to the aspiring artist.
I have come to the opinion as a private art instructor that despite the innovation in graphics and photography due to technology and computers, artists still need to draw! That's our job, to provide our students with great classical, traditional drawing skills, and enjoying the process.
Traditional representational painting in Acrylics, Oils, & Watercolors
The title sounds stuffy, but that's what we've been successfully teaching our students the past twenty years. A very sound method and approach to painting, based on the nineteenth-century ateliers and studios. Our goal is to impart a deep understanding of the guiding principles of painting, understanding of tonal values and the nature of light and how we perceive it. Through the study of landscape, seascape, still life, and portraits, the art student explores the skills of composition, an understanding of color, the prismatic palette, and methods and materials of executing a successful painting. Our approach to color and our palette is based on the Munsell color system combined with the prismatic palette passed down from Frank Vincent Dumond, which was taught at the Art Students League. Using the Munsell system puts our students light years ahead of other art school methods and through practice, any artist can attain any color in color space using this method. Dumond's palette breaks down the Munsell system making it applicable to painting any subject matter. Pretty exciting stuff!Annual Online Student Art Exhibit
We're happy to present our Annual student art exhibit from April 2021 online for the first time. Enjoy the wonderful art from our children & adult students. Click on image to see full artwork.

When the artist is alive in any person ... he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressing creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets, enlightens, and he opens ways for better understanding.
