INSTRUCTOR
Open to all levels/ages
LEVELS/AGES
In this class artists will learn the fundamentals of portrait drawing. With an emphasis on structure and anatomy, Tyler will help students in understanding likeness through careful observation of proportion, skeletal landmarks, and abstract shape design. Artists will also learn to create a sculptural quality to their portraits through in-depth analysis of the light source and how it interacts with the forms of the face.
This class is open to all skill levels.
There will be one pose for the entire 5 weeks. The process begins with the block-in stage, which aims to capture the likeness and character through accurate proportion, shape design and structural anatomy. After the block-in is complete, students will move into modeling form through an understanding of the light source. Comparative measurement, materials, light and form will also be discussed. Artists of all skill levels are encouraged to join.

Sandpaper pad for sharpening pencils

Tyler’s work holds a personal sophistication honed through a lifelong dedication to truthful observation, restraint and harmony, and fidelity to nature. His work is both an exploration and expression of humanity, pathos, and the natural world. The language of drawing, form, and light maintains in him a dialogue with the Old Masters. His paintings are a search for balance between the universal and particular, an attempt at
humble authenticity.
Tyler Berry (b. 1994) was raised in rural Connecticut. Upon receiving his BFA in 2016 from the University of Hartford, he would work as an animator in Greece and then Poland on the feature film Loving Vincent. During this formative years, he immersed himself in the work of the Old Masters, studying and copying in the museums of Europe.
A graduate and former core instructor of Grand Central Atelier’s four-year core program, Tyler lived and worked in New York City for many years before recently moving to New Salem, MA to be an instructor and artist-in-residence at the New Salem Museum and Academy of Fine Art. His work hangs in collections internationally, throughout the US, Europe, Japan, and China. He is the recipient of numerous awards and has participated in group shows throughout New England, New York City, and Europe, notably at Salmagundi Club and Sotheby’s in NYC, and the MEAM in Barcelona.
