Classes at the Atelier
Our classes are designed with a mentorship-style option for students who wish to gain mastery in painting and drawing, much like the Core Atelier Program. You may enroll in classes individually or continue in a series, depending on your goals. You do not have to be enrolled in the Core Atelier program to take our classes.
Landscape Painting with Roger Parsons
Texas Hill Country Atelier is proud to announce our new Landscape Painting Program with Roger Parsons! Roger is an internationally awarded artist who brings us his extensive experience and passion for painting landscapes across the American Southwest. He shares his knowledge gained from studying with masters like Arturo Chavez, Dan Mieduch and others. Roger’s work is known for capturing the feeling of awe one gets when present in the actual landscape.
Like the Core Atelier Program, the Landscape Painting Program offers mentorship-style training. Instead of jumping from one teacher to another as in a college or university, students receive one-on-one attention over a long period of time so that coaching and lessons can be customized to the individual’s needs.
The Landscape Painting Program is offered in a series of classes, Fundamentals of Landscape Painting, and Studio Landscape Painting I and II. Each class is five weeks long and meets once a week on Tuesdays from 9:30-4:30. with an hour break for lunch.
The series takes place during the Core Atelier Program terms. with a focus on increasingly advanced topics for advanced students. As in the atelier, classes may have mixed levels of experience. This "one-room school house" effect is another benefit of atelier training: students at different levels learn from each other. As a mentorship-style program, students are encouraged to continue their studies with Roger in order to reach certain levels of mastery, much like in the Core Atelier Program.
