STUDIO ESCALIER is an independent, private, studio art school and international
arts colony. Designed and directed by artists for artists, it is dedicated to the
contemporary classical study of drawing and painting from life.
Admission to our Intensive Courses in drawing and painting in Argenton-Chateau -- and to our shorter
drawing programs and Winter at the Louvre 9-week course in Paris -- is by online application only,
4 to 6 months before the first day of class.
Anyone may apply, there are no academic or artistic pre-requisites to apply as a student.
It is an open admissions process, based mainly on portfolio submission -- a review of artwork drawn
or painted from life.
Now offering courses in the heart of Paris as well as in Argenton-Chateau, France, we are an
international point of contact for professionals,
emerging artists and beginning art students alike, attracting members of many
different figurative schools and traditions.
We receive artists from New York City to New Zealand, and all points in between.
(Boston, Philadelphia, Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, Seattle, Santa Fe, San Francisco,
Los Angeles; France, UK, Ireland, Germany,
Holland, Italy, Spain, Russia, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Korea, and Australia).
We are of interest to those who wish to place working from the human figure
at the center of their artistic training, or those who
have achieved enough as artists to openly re-evaluate, question, investigate and improve how they work from life.
Our student body includes: career painters, portraitists, illustrators, concept artists, animators,
muralists, scenic artists & set designers, college art teachers, architects, sculptors, printmakers, promising
undergraduate students in all these fields, and career-oriented beginners, of every age.
Our most current schedule of upcoming courses can always be found here on the Home page,
