“Lab”
Bring your unfinished paintings, drawings and photos of potential paintings. One on one time with each student. Individual techniques will be demonstrated where appropriate. You may bring paints, but most time will be spent cropping, correcting design, composition, and discussing color theory.
Students learn a lot from listening to the critiques and corrections given to others. Lastly, these are MY opinions and suggestions. Other qualified artists may see it differently.
In the last year, two students that I mentored were very successful. One won the Gold award at AWS the other won 4th place at FWS and was named amateur artist of the year in Great Britain.
NOTE: Limited to 16 students!

“Well Seasoned Birches”
This class will be so much fun, easy and colorful! Pick your “seasoning” (spring?, fall?, summer?) and apply your colors with abandon. Learn an easy way to paint birches… they will practically paint themselves!

“Turn a Realistic Animal Photo Into a Whimsy
Painting!”
This class will be filled with techniques and demonstrations. It will be a fun class! We will be altering and enhancing your animal reference photo of your choice.
You will be challenging your creative, freedomseeking side for this day. There is no right or wrong! You will have the freedom of choice regarding which techniques you want to use subsequent to the demonstrations.
Each painting will be truly unique…
