"Poussin avait coutume de dire que c'est en observant les choses que le peintre devient habile plûtot
qu'en se fatiguant à les copier. Oui: mais il faut que le peintre ai des yeux." -- JAD Ingres
"Poussin had the habit of saying that it is by observing things that the painter becomes skillful,
more
than in tiring himself by copying them. Yes: but the painter must have eyes."

Special Programs - General Overview
Studio Escalier's full-time faculty and very select visiting faculty occasionally offer Special Programs in various topics, 3 to 4 weeks in length, for
8 to 12 students at a time.
One to three Special Programs are scheduled annually.
Anyone may apply. Enrollment is by advance application only, including portfolio submission (2 images).
Working alongside some of the best
contemporary classical artists and teachers, Special Program students also profit from each other's practices, as they attend short,
effective classes and lectures.
Special Programs typically concentrate on figure drawing, copying after masterpieces in the Louvre, or portrait painting. Other topics include
still-life painting, pastel painting, figure structure and anatomy, materials and techniques, etc.
Additionally, Special Programs at Studio Escalier place students in a setting conducive to concentration, art-making,
forward-looking professional exchange... featuring small-town living in an artist's colony atmosphere
(Argenton-Chateau), or in the heart of French art, art history, and culture (Paris).
For answers to frequently asked questions (FAQS) about arrival and departure, travel, and lodging,
please refer to the other pages of this website.
Special Programs in Paris
Special programs held at our new Paris Program Studio (between November and April only) concentrate on drawing only,
and take the opportunity to visit and draw from the great art collections of the Louvre, as well as concurrent special exhibitions in Paris.
Special Programs in Argenton-Chateau
Special programs also convene occasionally in Argenton-Chateau, France (between April and October only). They may
concentrate on portrait painting, figure painting, drawing or other topics.
These programs sometimes run in parallel to our on-going 3-month Intensive
Courses, with the express aim to engender a creative atmosphere between different groups of artists and art students.
