Let Dale Popovich help sharpen your drawing & painting techniques and skills
Dale taught for many years at The American Academy of Art in Chicago. Currently, he teaches at the prestigious Palette & Chisel Academy of Fine Arts – Zoom art classes Chicago, workshops and in his own studio. Through his 43+ years of professional teaching drawing and painting techniques and skills, Dale has taught over 4000 students – mentoring many who are now successful, accomplished artists.
“I have been an art instructor for over 43+ years and firmly believe that it’s important for the artist to know the fundamentals of art, drawing, composition, perspective and color theory. It is only with this grounding in basics that the artist can give full play to his or her creativity, and depart from reality (either a little or a lot) to create the mood he or she is seeking to convey. After all, it is vision coupled with skill and craftsmanship that is the key for any artist. Imagination is the child within all of us and cannot be lost.”

ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS CLASSES
ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS CLASSES

Chicago's oldest art academy featuring fine art classes in oil painting, watercolor, life drawing and sculpture.. Formed over a century ago to enable students, illustrators and fine artists to spend more time working from live models, a few artists’ dreams became the Palette & Chisel Club.. Their founding principles remain our guiding mission. Today’s Palette & Chisel is a non-profit organization. Since 1921, they have been housed in a beautiful circa 1870’s mansion in the heart of Chicago’s famed Gold Coast.
