We have a new teacher for the new Summer semester: Leighton Hickman.
http://leightonhickman.blogspot.com/
Leighton is a Visual Development artist currently working at Dreamworks Animation. He is joining us this term to sub-in for Jackson Sze’s “Gouache Landscape Painting” class.
Leighton will be working in oils for this course, but he is open for more experienced painters to bring in their medium of choice. If you are a beginning painter, he will assign you an oil material list for the term.
The class will be focused on the understanding of natural lighting, color, and designing in broad forms rather than details. At the end of the term, the class will be using their favorite outdoor study as an inspiration for their final project (incorporate what you have learned into your work).
To sign up, e-mail us at contact@conceptdesignacad.com to reserve your spot.
Catch this opportunity soon and have fun painting this summer

Opening Reception / Feb 27, 7:00PM – 11:00PM
Since its publication in 1865, Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ has enchanted the world with its curious characters and its even curiouser tale. It has been over more than a century and the fantastic world of Alice continues to captivate children and adults. With the highly anticipated film adaptation by Tim Burton hitting theatres later this month, we invited artists of the feature film and beyond to create their vision of the iconic story and celebrate it’s lasting legacy.
Opening Night only, glimpse into the creative brilliance of Disney Studios as exclusive concept art, production, and film stills will be shown from the upcoming Alice In Wonderland!
