Dennis Cheaney offers classes and workshops at a variety of locations throughout the United States. All classes are observation-based and have the study of nature at its core. In class, we examine long-held artistic principles and how best to apply these principles while working from the life model or still life arrangement. Past classes include Figure Painting Workshop held at Bay Area Classical Artist Atelier (BACAA), Figure Drawing Workshops held at Academy DuCret, Plainfield, NJ and Copley Society of art, Boston, MA and Introduction to Oil Painting Still Lifes held at the Copley Society of art, Boston, MA.
