The workshop consists of three full days of instruction. Students will receive individual attention, demonstrations, and impromptu lectures. Students are encouraged to purchase the Workshop Binder which will include, in part, instructions on graphing, drawing, composition, color theory, color charts, how to recreate the old master's technique, underpainting, etc. You will be encouraged to take notes as you learn about your own piece of art, as well as what you will learn from the paintings of others. New students will find it valuable to listen and learn as the instructor provides direction to others in the workshop.
There is a minimum of six students required before a class will be given and no more than 12 students in a workshop. The workshop is limited in size in order to provide one-on-one attention to each student.
