THE ATELIER
Academic Drawing & Painting with Leslie Lienau


Picture
Drawing and painting are skills that I believe anyone can learn. Becoming good at either requires instruction and plenty of practice. I strive to give my students the opportunity for both. My curriculum is designed to provide fundamental and advanced skills in drawing and painting using a targeted, systematic approach. Students work primarily from life beginning with a unique drawing foundations course and advance to drawing from the cast, drapery studies, working from The Charles Bargue Drawing Course, and the still-life. Practice through repetition, logical thinking and hard work, ensures students will gain knowledge, understanding and confidence by producing excellent works of art. ​

The Atelier is a comprehensive course of study for the serious student. As with the study of classical dance, learning a musical instrument or playing a sport, the craft of drawing and painting requires commitment, study and practice. My program offers each student individual attention, instruction and critique. I provide a creative, fun and safe environment for the student to learn, grow and excel.
