The Faigin Still Life Atelier is an online program that works with a small group of painting students interested in focusing their studio practice on the study of still-life arrangements over the course of a year.

Discover the art of transforming still life and portraits into vivid creations. Through anatomical structure, shading, and mastering flesh tones, explore value, perspective, and paint-specific techniques like broken color and impasto. Guided by Gage co-founder Gary Faigin, refine your style and composition while immersing in the timeless tradition of still life and portrait artistry.

No other subject matter offers the artist quite as much control over every aspect of their pictorial effect, and none has as rich and interesting a history.
