What do we teach?

Morrow Studios is rooted in the old-school hands-on training ways of the old masters from the 20th century. Our structured drawing and painting programs are designed to guide every student toward becoming the skilled artist they aspire to be.

The Four Cornerstones

The Four Cornerstones are the foundation to an Artist's ability. Each of our classes are categorized by these four cornerstones.

Shape & Form

Shape and Form is the most essential fundamental, the foundation upon which all others are built. Once you develop fluency here, you’ll move forward with far greater confidence in every other area.

Figure

Studying the figure to the point of invention lets you communicate with real authority. You start with fundamentals and work your way toward anatomical command over time — no shortcuts.

Head

Drawing a head isn’t just copying shapes you see. You need to understand proportion, structure, and the underlying rhythms that make a face feel alive.

Environments

Every subject needs a stage. Whether it’s the focus of the piece or the world around it, environments matter. They can be broken down into clear structural steps so you can build convincing spaces consistently.
