Classical
Fine Art Instruction for beginner through advanced students.




Whether you are picking up a paintbrush for the first time, returning to painting after many years, or seeking to refine advanced artistic skills, Varriano Fine Art's online workshops provide a clear and structured path to artistic growth.
The self-paced, online workshops are designed for steady, progressive artistic development and include both oil painting and drawing instruction. Students may choose to study one discipline or pursue both, according to their interests and goals.
OIL PAINTING
Learn classical, impressionist and contemporary approaches to composition and painting. Instruction includes drawing and proportion, color mixing and temperature, value organization, atmospheric depth, focal point development, and painting refinement and finishing.
DRAWING
Develop the skills essential to masterful drawing through classical observation, visual analysis, and the application of a variety of drawing mediums. Instruction includes gesture and movement, figure construction, perspective, spatial relationships, anatomical proportion, form and volume, and soft- and hard-edge control using charcoal, graphite, and Conte crayon.
Rooted in the traditions of classical fine art and informed by decades of professional painting experience and atelier-based training, each workshop is designed to help students build lasting confidence, technical ability, and artistic understanding.
