Every work shown here was produced by students of the Advanced Apprenticeship Program under the direct guidance of Irena Korosec. From first underpainting to final glaze — the full classical process, step by step.
Students study Rubens' warm, luminous approach to flesh — building up transparent layers over a warm imprimatura, working wet-into-wet to achieve the characteristic glow of Flemish baroque painting.
Bouguereau's hyper-refined academic technique demands extraordinary precision in blending and an intimate understanding of how light moves across human skin.
A full copy of a Rembrandt self-portrait followed through three phases — establishing the value structure, introducing colour, and building up the final richness of tone.
Students copy the Mona Lisa through three progressive stages — learning Leonardo's signature sfumato technique of imperceptible tonal transitions that give skin its living quality.
Drawing from skulls, casts, sculpture, and life — the essential discipline that underpins everything taught in the program.
