SUMMER IN PARADISE

This year has brought the lush, subliminal beauty of the tropics to my horizon along with the gulf waters always lapping the shores. It is reflected in the rich hues and deep orange, red and yellow cadmiums juxtaposed with the cerulean and ultra-marine blues. Here are the latest works by Vicky Tesmer:

Paradise in the Tropics, 2022, 36" X 24"

ADULT ART CLASSES AVAILABLE VIA VIDEO FACETIME OR IN STUDIO

Many of my students from the Naples Art Center have requested private lessons. Classes are offered in my art studio or via zoom/facetime. Each session is 2 and 1/2 hours long and costs $100 a class or a session of 4 for $400. Please contact Vicky at: tjartinc@gmail.com to schedule your session. Concentrating on composition, form, color and color mixing - private lessons provide the continued development of these skills and enhance the artist's eye to see subject matter and its place in space. I have students who have taken classes for years and they are now professionals in their fields designing greeting cards, being hired for private commissions and celebrate their love of art and growing skills as an artist.

Upcoming Classes

Fundamentals of Drawing and Painting Classes:

Study the classical approach to fine art with Vicky Tesmer's studio. Students learn line contour, classical drawing and painting, and develop skills in color mixing and spatial relations. Using a mixture of mediums, artists study portraiture, life drawing, still life and studying work of the masters.

Please see below for class schedules for the Young Artist Program and the Adult class schedule.

We do offer figure study drawing classes if there is a demand. Figure painting and drawing is the art of understanding human life - the flesh which covers the soul. There must be an interest in the subject - something the artist wants to say about the subject. It is a primary condition to painting the figure and portrait painting. The work is done when that special conversation has been found. The art teacher helps the artist find this dialog, preparing the artist with the necessary tools to self-express.

If your child is preparing a portfolio for high school or college admittance the cost is $600.00 for the 10 hour week session. (Two hour a day class.) Classes are being held in the studio or remotely. For inquiries please email me: tjartinc@ameritech.net. The studio prepares a portfolio jpeg visual file to attach to their applications. For further info, please contact Vicky Tesmer at 312.804-0337. Adult classes in studio or remote are $100 per class session

Since graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, artists have worked with Vicky Tesmer in her decorative arts business creating one-of-a-kind environments from hotel lobbies, residences, chapels, schools, restaurants and public art projects. Their talents have been used in a variety of mediums from murals to tile mosiac to creating full interiors and environmental designs. Artists around the world have interned with Tres Jolie Art, Inc. from Calcutta, India to Indonesia, Savannah, Georgia to Eureka, California. It has been a great experience for young artists and designers to learn practical skills in her studio. For more information please go to:
