The Salon of Art Painting School Student Gallery

Concetta K. Antico, The Salon of Art's painting instructor, has taught thousands of students over the last 16 years in San Diego. Many beginner students who have never painted before have gone away from Concetta's painting classes with a new found love for not only painting but the world around them.

The Salon of Art offers several different levels of painting classes. For those students who are new to painting, you might want to start with a Beginning Level Class where you can learn the basics in an instructor led format. From there, you can move up to the Intermediate Level Classes and create a masterpiece of your own choice with your new found painting skills!

The Salon of Art also offers two Advanced Level courses. The Alla Prima Classes will help you build your confidence when painting as you start to understand spatial relationships, proportions, design, color theory and values for creating light and shadow. Once you have these concepts down, you might want to enroll in an En Plein Air Class where you can take your painting outside! This is Concetta's specialty and source of most of her beautiful paintings which can be viewed in her San Diego Art Gallery. In these classes, you will learn the fundamentals of composition and special techniques to paint trees, water, rocks and sky.

MAKE YOUR MASTERPIECE...

“I want to let you know how much I appreciated the class last night. Wow, it was liberating. It broke some huge barriers I have about painting on my own. Can't thank you enough. I woke up wanting to paint. Somehow, you strike just the right balance between guidance, push and freedom. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !”
