Painting From Life, Portraiture

Work from Sharon Sprung’s morning class, Painting From Life, Portraiture, came up for exhibition on February 4, 2019, in this year’s The Student Concours at The Art Students League of New York. On view for just a week in the Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery at The League, 215 West 57^th St., New York, NY, this show of primarily oil paintings can be seen Mon-Fri, 9am to 8pm and on Saturday, from 9am to 2pm when it will close.

The exhibition changes weekly in order to accommodate all the classes at the League beginning in January through May.  The Student Concours  exhibitions showcase the work of all the school’s students in every discipline (painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media) and are open to the public; most of the artwork is available for purchase.
