Ebisu Atelier d’Art was established on October 11, 2010 and offers instruction of traditional Western style art. The Atelier acknowledges that each individual is unique. All students are given differentiated instruction directed and adapted to meet individual goals as related to personal interest, direction and understanding.

The techniques and procedures that we teach have literally been passed down from master to student in an oral tradition that extends unbroken to the time of the Renaissance and late Medieval period over 600 years ago. Indeed, many of the practices and concepts extend back to Roman, Greek and Egyptian times spanning thousands of years.

We are proud to continue such time honoured instruction and practices here in Japan at Ebisu Atelier d’Art.

The principles of Drawing form the basis of all Western Art. To be able to progress in Painting, Sculpture or Architecture an artist must first have good Drawing skills. Our primary medium for study is working in graphite (pencil).

Students draw from traditional prints, plaster casts of classical statues, live models, memory and imagination in order to develop a personal understanding of form.

Painting is the co-ordination of drawing with colour as a means of representing form. The principle medium for study will be working in oil. Students proceed from painting in grisaille (black & white), to working with a limited palette and finally to using a broad palette of many colours.

Sculpture is the representation of form in three-dimensions. The principle medium for study will be working in oil based clay and casting in plaster. Though the absence of colour simplifies many technical considerations that are paramount in painting, work done in three dimensions has an additional concern for drawing that includes multiple viewpoints. Furthermore sculpture has a technical demand
