Introduction to Classical Drawing | Fall 2019 Trimester Portrait Drawing Fundamentals | Fall 2019 Trimester |
Mischa Tranquilli (Connecticut, United States 1992) began drawing and painting from a young age. As a child, she realized her strong desire to become a fine artist while studying from her grandfather, Walter Tranquilli, a skilled draftsman and sculptor whose family emigrated to the United States from Italy.
Mischa's desire to pursue a classical art education led her back to her family's ancestral country when she was 20, where she would go on to study at the Angel Academy of Art, Florence. While she was a student, she and her artwork were featured in an August 2016 episode of Campus Italia, a program highlighting students in Italian vocational schools. After graduating from the academy in 2017, she moved to The Netherlands, where she currently divides her time between teaching and painting.
She draws inspiration for her art from her own life experiences and her personal writing. Her work has exhibited and sold in private collections in North America and Europe, and she was most recently named the first place winner of The Representational Art Conference 2018 juried exhibition in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands.

Tobias Berman is a figurative artist from the Netherlands. Although he has always been active with drawing, he only seriously took up painting at the age of 17. He has studied throughout Europe, chasing the knowledge offered by numerous world-renowned classical art institutes and instructors, including the Swedish Academy of Realist Art, the Florence Academy of Art, and the Barcelona Academy of Art, from which he graduated.
His studies at the Swedish Academy of Realist Art taught him all the subtleties of the art of drawing, while the Florence Academy of Art provided the backdrop for his introduction into oil painting. Finally, he honed and further improved his oil painting technique at the Barcelona Academy of Art, and graduated from their core programme. With the knowledge he accumulated throughout these various ateliers, he has spent the last years experimenting with different techniques and ways of working.
Tobias' work ranges from a very careful, multi-layered painting approach akin to the methods of the 16th and 17th century old masters, to a more expressive, impressionistic way of working. His primary focus is on the figure, the portrait, and the plein-air landscape. He always tries to have an interaction between the painting and what he sees, searching for a careful balance and play of focus throughout his work. His work has exhibited in various group shows throughout Europe. Currently, he is based in Arnhem where he has his studio, and teaches portraiture to beginners in Utrecht.

Danny Ferland was born in 1975 in Québec City, Québec. He was self taught for many years before discovering the magnificence of figurative art during a European trip in 2002. Seeing the historical artworks in countless museums is what made him realize the utmost importance of genuine academic training.
In 2008, he moved to New York City after being accepted into the Janus Collaborative School of Art. The curriculum was based on working exclusively from the live model. After months of dedication, he realized that his main interest lied in portraiture, one of the most complex and demanding forms of art. The balance of strong drawing skills and the sensitivity needed to produce an image with truth and soul is what drove him to pursue the art of portraiture.
“I am trying to establish a subtle bridge between myself and the model, one that is built with trust and generosity. Moreover, this connection enables me to extract a beauty, a story and a spirit that is unique to every subject. If I can convey even a small part of this truth, I know that it will trigger a memory that is lost somewhere in the poetry of the human experience.”

Tina Garrett (b. 1974) has studied intently and been heavily influenced by the Selective Start Method described in Alla Prima by Living Master Artist and Author Richard Schmid. Tina subsequently studied in workshops offered by Richard’s students whenever possible, including Romel de la Torre, Casey Baugh, Aaron Westerberg, Kathy Anderson, Jeremy Lipking, Tim Deibler, Michelle Dunaway and Stanka Kordic.
Tina’s philosophy on art can be summarized as such: "The best works reflect the marriage of concept and skill, presented by an authentic voice. True artists hold no jealousy, and love great work even if they did not create it themselves. Artists do not own the information that we have been taught, and it is our responsibility to pass it on, as there is never enough great art."
In the course of her serious pursuit of fine arts mastery, Tina has created a growing family of private collectors and commissioned clients in the U.S., U.K., Netherlands, and Mexico.
Tina is one of few master painters teaching the Selective Start Method and can be found painting and teaching private lessons at her Lee’s Summit, Missouri studio. She also teaches workshops and mentors artists across the U.S., U.K and abroad at these and other venues: The Scottsdale Artists’ School, Denver Art Students League, Village Arts of Putney, The Florence Studio, Oklahoma Academy of Classical Art and Crooked Tree Art Center.
Tina is proud to accept a Master Artist designation through the National Oil and Acrylic Painters’ Society Signature Member Guild and an ARC Associate Living Master designation by the Art Renewal Center. Tina is a proud Gamblin Dedicated Workshop Artist and is sponsored by FASO/BoldBrush and Rosemary & Co. Brushes. Tina is a contributing writer to the Art Renewal Center ARChives and Fine Art Studio Online FineArtViews.
