Our Guiding Faculty
Famous Artists School’s Guiding Faculty members contribute their fresh ideas and step-by-step demonstrations to our Courses, guaranteeing that you learn the most contemporary concepts and techniques along with the sound, fundamental principles that must underlie good art.
Here are the distinguished members of our Guiding Faculty. They are among the world’s foremost talents in the world of art. These artists have won numerous art honors, awards, and prizes. With such knowledge, experience, and integrity, it is understandable that so many art educators, painters and commercial artists consider Famous Artists Courses without peer in professional art education.

Robert Heindel
Heindel is one of the most illustrious graduates of Famous Artists School. In the last twenty years, he has become known as a modern-day Degas for his paintings evoking the many facets of the world of ballet. He is fascinated by dancers because, combining body and brains, they “present the greatest vehicle for me to show what I want to show.”

Franklin McMahon
Franklin is an artist-reporter whose work takes him all over the world. He works directly from his subjects whenever possible, so his work has a look of on-the-spot credibility. He says, “The artist who draws directly on the site can see around corners, adding dimension to viewpoint, getting ideas, heightening reality.”

As a teenager, he was one of the youngest students ever accepted by FAS, and later served as an FAS instructor. He authored eight books on painting directed toward students at all levels.
