“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!
