What you can expect from a Covino Workshop Vital information and personal guidance from an Italian-American artist who has several decades of experience in the craft of his ancestors along with Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Art Teacher Education from Pratt Institute. Covino conducts more Nationwide Workshops than any other professional artist in the country. Two Graduate Credits are now offered for 60 hours of Frank Covino Workshop attendance in the state of Colorado; this honor is unprecedented! The Artist's Magazine in their May, 2000 issue has named the Frank Covino Workshops to be one of the Top Five Workshops in the country! The Covino Controlled PaletteŠ, similar to the palette of Leonardo da Vinci, which inspired such notable illustrators as Howard Pyle, N.C. Wyeth, Harvey Dunn, Frank Reilly and their followers, uses a graduated range of gray values. Covino's use of the Italian Il Metodo Grata ensures accurate likeness. He encourages the use of photography in class, but Ricomporre, the Italian solution to creative composition via the ancient Golden Mean is constantly stressed, in an effort to perpetuate the Classical Academic tradition. Photographic reference permits a variety of subject matter created in the same classroom, offering a much broader range of art education than you would receive in a workshop where everyone paints from the same model. Individual guidance is guaranteed as classes are limited (from 10 to 15 students) and Frank does not leave until he has spent some time at every easel. Few artists have studied with Frank Covino who have not returned for further guidance. Since he began teaching in 1962, he has helped to create over 27,000 works of art in his classroom. Frank Covino Students are among the highest paid semi-professional artists in the world.
