Our Core Philosophy
The “atelier” approach is made unique in that the concepts and skills are broken down in easy to understand terms so that students focus on mastering a skill or idea before moving on to another.

Once a student learns the basics, the frustration and struggle will be replaced by confidence and a world of enjoyment.

Our work behind-the-scenes is focused on designing classes that teach the old masters' approach in a relaxed environment. We strive to:
Our Vision
The vision of Martin Fine Art Classes is that students of all ages will be able to freely create high-quality works of art to enrich their lives and the lives of those around them, develop a deeper appreciation for the natural world and aesthetics, as well as influence career choices and opportunities.
We encourage in students the skill of drawing with confidence by observing the object matter and understanding how to render in drawing its size, placement, and proportion. After mastering the basics, students will experiment with drawing in charcoal, oil painting, and watercolor.
