Workshops
Workshops are divided into two main categories: weekend workshops and week-long workshops. Weekend workshops are an opportunity for students to take what they have learned in weekly classes to a higher level. Week-long workshops provide a chance for more advanced students to spend a week studying drawing or painting at a more intense level.
UPCOMING WORKSHOPS:
ANIMAL PORTRAITURE IN WATER-SOLUBLE GRAPHITE
Sunday May 19, 2024 10am - 4pm
This is going to be a super fun one! Prior to the workshop students will be given instructions and lights to take home and properly photograph their own beloved pet. We will then work from the carefully chosen photo creating a portrait using water soluble graphite pencils. These pencils give you the accuracy of a graphite, drawing with the subtlety of a watercolor painting. The drawings will be done small and detailed, and will be completely finished in this one day workshop.
Details
Supplies included: water soluble pencils, brushes and paper. Students will need to bring their regular pencils and erasers.
Cost: $80

COSTUMED PORTRAITURE WORKSHOP
June 21 - 29, 2024
I will be teaching this workshop again in the beautiful, quant town of Enniskerry, Ireland. The workshop is taught in a 200 year old stone studio brimming with history and is limited to 12 students. We will be studying all anatomical aspects of the human head, neck and shoulders. Color theory will be taught and students will practice turning the head with temperature and value prior to working with our live model. A deep understanding of all phases of portraiture from start to finish will be the goal.
Details
Travel dates:
Friday, June 21st - Sunday, June 30.
Workshop dates:
Monday- Friday, 10am - 4pm
All supplies are included in the cost of the workshop - it is recommended that students do not bring their own.

FULL WEEK OIL PAINTING WORKSHOP
July 22 - 26, 2024
This annual favorite returns in July. A small group of painters will explore their own still life selections using oils on canvas. Each student will receive detailed personal instruction and encouraged to strive to their personal next level of excellence, whether they are new painters or experienced.
Methods and materials from basic to advanced will be discussed- this approach refreshes the advanced oil painter and exposes the new painter to what lies ahead. The focus, as always will be on full understanding of all aspects of oil painting as well as the many poetic, creative choices we make as painters (and of course to have a lot of fun in the process!)
Details
9:00am- 3:30pm each day with a 45 minute lunch break.
Supplies included: canvas, turp, Viva, gloves, and palettes to borrow if needed.
Students will need to bring: A full set of oil paints and brushes (please see the complete oil paint list here.) I will have some brushes for sale at my cost.
Cost: $500

LANDSCAPE PAINTING IN OIL
August 12 - 16, 2024
This new and exciting workshop has been requested by students for years! A small group of oil painters will be working plein air (outside on site) as well as in the studio. Students will work one day entirely outdoors, executing a small painting in the morning and a second entirely different painting in the afternoon, finishing both. We will be driving to this destination.
The rest of the week will be spent executing a more complex Landscape painting, using our computers to view our chosen photo. The week will result in two small alla prima (done quickly) landscapes and one larger finished painting.
