Rivera Fine Art Studios

This channel features demos and discussions on fine art ranging from quick sketches to refined oil painting techniques.  My mission is to teach the secret pedagogical systems practiced in the academic art world in Europe during the late 19th Century.  This type of education, unfortunately has declined in the previous Century, although it is starting to make a comeback through privately owned ateliers and some online schools.  Why this type of hands on instruction isn’t taught in any of the “big name” art schools and universities (with a few exceptions) is absolutely mind boggling to me.

By teaching drawing and painting techniques which I’ve studied for the past 25 years, I hope to help other artists develop their confidence and inform their direction in whatever artistic endeavor they choose.
