Introduction: Randall Graham Studio is a quality, fun and inclusive art academy that creates an atmosphere for success. Class schedules are designed with consideration of students busy lives and many options are available.
The studio classes provide a working environment in which students train by painting from life. Classes are modeled after the ateliers of 19th century France, the focus is perfecting the the fundamental disciplines of visual art: drawing, painting, and composition. Considering contemporary lifestyles and schedules, three hour time blocks are offered. Students may register for one three hour class per a week or multiple classes per week if their schedule permits.
Studio courses are offered in three semesters from September to June, and are designed for all experience levels. The core curriculum includes drawing, monochromatic and color painting, and composition. Each program is comprised of exercises proceeding from simple to complex subject matter. The exercises are not meant to be creative but to introduce the fundamental elements of line and color in a controlled manner. The student can thus train the eye and hand on stationary objects building accuracy, confidence and mastery.
Instructor Randall Graham is a working artist with 15 years of experience in fine arts, murals and plein air competitions. He has taught fundamental painting, plein air painting and still life painting for Wayne Art Center, Chester County Art Association, Valley Forge National Park, Oxford Art Alliance, Franklin Commons Art Gallery and many other workshops around Chester County and the Main Line.

Quality training to fit a contemporary life schedule.
I love sharing the classical techniques of painting to students and helping them unlock their creative abilities. My painting methods are passed down from the Renaissance all the way down to NC Wyeth, Frank Riley, Neil Carlin to me and now on to my students.
The step by step teaching methods used in my studio always help students improve their painting.
