The NO - Talking Policy

     The students will be encouraged to maximize their time.

"When someone is talking next to you, they are taking your energy and focus from the painting."  Everyone likes this policy because it allows each student to feel like they can concentrate and can get their work done.

During the workshop the students will see about 5 - 6 small demo, every day,  on how to solve a problem with colors or values.  I believe that each demo should be around the WHY and HOW in an easy to understand format.

Please take notice!

When you come to the workshop you will notice that this is a place for:

  Being respected as an Artist,

  Being prepared for NON-STOP work,

  Watching lots of demos,

  Asking hundreds of questions, and

  Lots of hands on sessions.                    ALSO, there are no male or female        artists in my workshops......just             CREATIVE PEOPLE that come to         learn something NEW!

If you like a workshop were there is a lot of people working and not talking, this is for you!

The Workshop

The students will be given  projects to work on. These projects are designed to bring the students to a higher level in a short time. There will be a variety of subject matter ....A people painting one day and something else the next day. After years of teaching I have learned it is better to have a GOAL with every day's  lessons!
