I'm looking for new landscape painting workshop venues for 2013 and 2014.
Would you or your group be interested in inviting me to teach in your town? I have a new program, "From Sketch to Studio," in which students will spend time out in the field gathering reference material with cameras and sketchbooks and then go to the studio to create finished works. I'll show my process and cover the finer points of creating finished studio paintings from the reference material.
I'll work in oil or pastel, but students may work in any medium. Length of the workshop may be anywhere from two to five days. The program can also be customized, such as an all-plein-air workshop or one that is based totally in the studio.
If your group hosts art exhibitions, such as an annual members' show, I'm also available to judge or serve as a juror in conjunction with a workshop.
For more information and pricing, please contact me at mcj.painter@gmail.com.
If you're part of a group, feel free to send this entire post on to your program director.
