Portrait in Oil Demo with Leeanna Chipana
Friday, May 11, 6-8:30pm
FREE (But please register.)
Please join us for a special evening portrait demo with Leeanna Chipana. Leeanna will demonstrate her classical painting technique (with a live model) and discuss her methods for portrait painting. Questions and discussion will be taken throughout the demo. The painting will be raffled off with all proceeds benefitting The Art Guild. (There will be one 1/2 hour break. Refreshments will be served.)
Leeanna teaches a Portrait Drawing and Painting in Oil class here at The Art Guild (beginning May 22) as well as at the Atelier Flowerfields in St. James. Her emphasis is on techniques used by artists throughout the 18th and 19th century. Recenty her portrait “Kevin” was ranked number 10 in the 50 Beautiful Paintings Of Beautiful Men On Instagram on BuzzFeed.
This evening is FREE to the pubic. We will raffle off the “finished” portrait.
Leeanna Chipana began her art studies at the Stevenson Academy of Fine Arts in Oyster Bay, NY in 2004 where she studied under painter and illustrator Attila Hejja. While working as his personal assistant Leeanna studied figure painting with Mr. Hejja. After Mr. Hejja’s sudden death in the Summer of 2007, Leeanna decided to devote her life to pursuing her own art studies more rigorously and dedicate herself to teaching traditional painting and drawing. She started by attending the New York Art Students League where she studied figure painting for two years with artist Nelson Shanks. She went on to continue her studies under full scholarship with Robert Armetta of the Long Island Academy of Fine Art at the Atelier Armetta program located in Glen Cove, NY. She attended the Water Street Atelier where she was enrolled in a full-time program dedicated to classical drawing and painting under artist Jacob Collins. Her work ranges from landscapes to still-life and portraits from life.
Leeanna continued her training at the Grand Central Atelier in New York in their full-time core program – the Water Street Atelier with Jacob Collins. She was a recipient of the John F. and Anna Lee Stacey Grant, a Hudson River Fellow and was awarded a scholarship to attend the New York Academy of Art where she earned her MFA in figure painting. She was a recipient of the John F. and Anna Lee Stacey Grant, a Hudson River Fellow and was awarded one of the highest scholarships offered to attend the academy. After her graduation last Spring, her work was shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Wausau, Wisconsin and the Zhou B. Arts center in Chicago. She uses her traditional background to focus on the theme of indigenous portraits in landscapes as a way to explore her own mixed Indigenous-Peruvian heritage.
