Learn what the art schools don't teach!
by adelaide33
I graduated from college with a minor in Art and a few commissioned portraits under my belt. I learned the basics of art in college, but Chris teaches it all on another level. The art schools tend to focus on painting what you FEEL...Chris teaches you the rules to great art and applying them to achieve the message or the mood. Once you complete the exercises, you've learned the rules...and when you can break them. After about a year and a half of classes with Chris, I quit my corporate job and now make a living as a commission-based painter! I completed all the exercises required for the program, but I will continue classes with Chris as long as I live here. I've now been in his classes for six years, and every week I feel like I'm learning something new. Learn about different color theories, creating an S-curve, figure-ground relationships, working on and off the form, achieving more contrast closer to you and less further away...the list goes on! Whether you "can't draw a stick-figure" or you have years of formal art training under your belt, I can't express enough how much you'll learn from Chris!
- Pros: Best value in town, best art teacher...period :)
- Cons: none

Drawing and Painting: The Masters' Way
by Luce1
Chris knows art. He is also a fine teacher who is determined to convey the principles of art through students' exercises, through demonstrations, and through illustrated lessons. He strives to bring out the best in his students, and when a work is completed, the student feels that he or she has produced something fine and feels a real sense of accomplisment. Both artists and would-be artists benefit from his program.
- Pros: Can teach anyone who is willing to try
- Cons: none

cobalt blue
by RLTsj
Eight years ago I walked into Chris' class of very advanced artists. I did not even know what cobalt blue was. Now I have a highly skilled technique and success in producing good art work. You are encouraged, not only by Chris' lectures and teaching, but also by all of the superb work and artist that surround you.
- Pros: the best art teaching studio in atlanta
- Cons: none
