Traditional Drawing & Painting
Fall & Winter Sessions (10 weeks)
The Ridgefield Guild of Artists has a long tradition of offering our traditionally taught class of drawing and painting with our instructor Carol Miller. Her background originated in years of commercial art; now concentrated on oil portraits and teaching. This class focuses on drawing and enhancing the ability to see. Working with color through watercolor craypas and advancing to oil, combined with drawing creates a foundation for art. Classic as well as contemporary artists are integrated in our studies. Supplies needed are a sketch book, drawing pencils, charcol pencils, craypas, and water color set.
Please contact the RGA at 438-8863 or register online.
Students are welcomed to join or drop in on any Saturday.

Instructor Jock MacRae is an accomplished artist and has taught painting for many years. He completed his formal education at the Art League in New York City in 1980. His paintings appear in numerous corporate and private collections.
“I have been studying under Jock’s guidance for about three years now and continue to learn from his outstanding knowledge of art history as well as technical guidance. Students of Jock tend to be very devoted because he is an outstanding teacher. He has the unusual ability to stand back and observe without interfering with your creative process but then know just when the right moment is to intervene if you are stuck. Each artist in the class is working on something different and Jock is able to instruct each accordingly. For instance my work is mostly abstract figurative while another student will be working on something representational. One artist will be working on something for weeks while another will crank out several paintings in one class. we are all very different and that’s what makes it interesting and gives us all the opportunity to learn from one another as well as from Jock. There is a great dynamic in there, in addition to be really interesting people, all the artists are very generous with their positive support for one another. Jock’s class tends to attract artists with certain sophistication and focus, especially the student’s who come back year after year.” from student Maria Poosikian
