largest portrait society presents four exciting days in New York
City, the art capital of the world. A distinguished faculty of some
of the nation's foremost portrait artists demonstrate their techniques
and share their secrets of success in today's fast-growing field
of professional portrait painting.
Our daily study sessions will be held in The Grace Rainey Rogers
Auditorium at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Metropolitan is
of course one of the world's greatest museums, featuring an unparalleled
collection of portraiture, including

Titian,
Velázquez, Hals, Rembrandt,
Van Dyck, Gainsborough, Reynolds, Lawrence,
Sargent, Chase and countless others.
