 About Us
The Teaching Studios of Art provides traditional art courses on Long Island
at our Oyster Bay location and in New York City in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. The school began when Rob started teaching plein-air landscape lessons in Central Park in the fall of 2008. In the winter, when it was too cold to paint outside, Rob began teaching students in his studio. He founded the Teaching Studios of Art a month later, with a concept for a new kind of art school: classical in technique, yet laid back in approach.
Mission Statement
The Teaching Studios of Art’s mission is to train artists in traditional techniques practiced for centuries before the advent of Modernism. We believe that creating a vibrant artistic environment enriches the aesthetic and cultural life of the surrounding community. We desire to equip students of all ages with the strengths of time-tested techniques.
How we are Different
By focusing our efforts on training artists in traditional techniques that are sometimes difficult to master, we feel we are offering a chance for personal improvement as well as artistic growth. Our faculty is comprised of highly trained and skilled artists who have exhibited their work in New York and around the US. Our classes are small, and students receive much personal attention. Our clients are our community, and we take their needs seriously.
