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 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.

Transitioning from Drawing to Painting taught by Dennis Cheaney held at the New York Academy of Art Department of Continuing Education 111 Franklin St. New York, NY 10013 In this 10 week class, students will learn how to transition from drawing into painting. We will review some fundamental topics of drawing but the thrust of the class will be a series of increasingly sophisticated exercises that highlight key concepts of painting from the figure model. The concepts will be pulled together at the end of class for a three session long pose. Open to artists of all levels.
