Designed for classical and industry artists alike, the Illustration Program teaches how to create realistic imagery from the ground up beginning in black and white using traditional materials such as graphite, ink, and gouache. Techniques include layering, blending, and rendering various types of surfaces, such as wood, metal, rusted metal—to name a few. After establishing core abilities, students learn more advanced techniques in color building in scope and complexity over time. This class is an ongoing program with a one-year curriculum cycle. Note- This programs takes place at the Gage Georgetown location.
