Professional Program

The Professional Program is designed for artists of all ages and levels of ability, from professionals seeking to expand their skills to talented high school students just embarking on their artistic journey. The Program entails approximately four years of study.

Under the direction of Dr. Jane, renowned realist painter, artists at Living Art Visual Studio practice the techniques of drawing and painting as the foundation for creative expression and meaningful visual communication. Working in north-lit studios, artists progress from basic skills, such as gesture and proportion, as they draw in charcoal, to more advanced color study and other dynamic techniques as they paint still life, the figure, portraits, landscapes and interiors. Students study in intensive small groups with instructors: Dr. Jane Goretskaya or/and Marina Bichinsky, MA, and with guest artists who are masters in their own right. The Program also addresses the practical skills necessary for a successful career, such as writing an artist’s statement and preparing for an exhibition.

Located in the cultural district of Bay Area, Living Art Visual Studio places its artists in a vibrant and stimulating atmosphere. Artists regularly visit California’s great variety of museums as well as plays, concerts and lectures.
