HOME - Workshop Calendar
I am so looking forward to a new year of painting workshops across North America. With old acquaintances from past workshops and meeting new energetic painters that want to grow their abilities.
Lots of great locations for artists to retreat and refresh their creative energies. Warm climates in the cold time of year. Cooler weather for the hot and roasty times of the year. Cool breezes from a marsh or sea to refresh the air. Western getaways for the cowboy or cowgirl in everyone of us.
I enjoy working with artists at all levels of experience. Workshops include demonstrations, critiques and lots of individual help. Artists are encouraged to expand upon their current levels of understanding and become more comfortable applying new concepts and principles to move their art forward.

September 21 - 22, 2013 - FIGURATIVE
This very expressive type of painting uses marks to signify emotion at the moment the paint is applied to the painting's surface. It describes visible characteristics and intangible essence of a figure in gestural abstraction. Action painting relies on the physical movement of the artist. Paint what you need, leave the rest for interpretation. It is the essence of figure. |

Love of painting has always been my passion since I was young boy. I want to share my appetite for painting with you and help you express your art in Italy.

In a quiet area of Italy students will enjoy gaining a deeper understanding of plein air and studio painting. We will understand a practical plan for capturing changing light in outdoor painting studies. Together with demonstrations and one on one mentoring with students we will cover dynamic compositions, mixing rich harmonious colors, and capturing light with lively paint. You will be amazed at the difference it will make in your paintings. This artist retreat will emphasize drawing and painting with a painting knife or brush. With friendly guidance and critiques to guide painters in developing their proficiency and painting style. While enjoying day trips and making new friends with other dedicated painters of different experience levels to making memories that will last a lifetime. |
