Master Classes with NYC Artists
We are circling back to our roots when, in the late 19th century & early 20th century, the founding members of the Greenwich Art Society (who were also members of the Cos Cob Colony of Artists) would invite their artist colleagues from New York City to Greenwich to paint and teach. In the spirit of that tradition, we are pleased to announce our inaugural artist, Eric Holzman. Additional masterclasses with other New York City artists coming soon.

A Critique Seminar with Eric Holzman
“Wooded Area at Sleepy Hollow” by Eric Holzman
Eric Holzman
Attaining the Visionary in Painting – How Art Expresses the Intuitive Self
Offering a relaxed and inclusive approach, Eric guides critique attendees to respond to their work and that of others in a deeply personal and emotional manner.
Eric’s experienced and sophisticated eye evaluates work for coherence and integrity. Are the artist’s intentions being realized within the visual language that is presented? How can issues of focus, specificity, and intention be better resolved? The question of beauty is discussed relative to the artist’s intention. Getting to the essence of artistic expression while eliminating unnecessary baggage and old ideas also forms the basis for critique. Attendees will understand how the expression of the intuitive self, made conscious and visible, is essential to creating an authentic visual style.
