All workshops are designed to instruct both the beginning and advanced student. Workshop sizes are limited to allow for individual goal setting, instruction and critique. The July Plein Air Abstract Landscape Workshop is limited to 15 students. In every workshop you can expect to do lots of work.
.I'm offering a new workshop this summer which should be a lot of fun and result in some interesting art work. I am offering a Plein Air Abstract Landscape Workshop where on each Saturday in July we will paint at a different location from 9 AM until 4 PM. I have choosen sites that are close to the Twin Cities and that have a variety of scenic vistas and interesting subjects to paint.
