Taos Mentoring Workshop with Albert Handell October 2019

Taos, New Mexico - Painter's Paradise

I am pleased to be joining my mentor and good friend, Albert Handell, at his Taos Mentoring Workshop, October 6-12, 2019. I've worked with Albert many times in the past, both as student and assistant, and I'm looking forward to working with him again.

If you haven't worked with him before, let me share with you a little about his mentoring workshops. In these, he covers topics that aren't addressed in the all-level workshops, and he also covers the business of art. What's more, he offers extensive critiques of participants' work. I highly recommend this workshop to any painter who is serious about both craft and career. This master painter, who recently received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2019 Plein Air Convention, has a great deal to offer the student.

Here is a description from his website on the workshop:

Join Albert Handell in this exciting 6-day indoor/outdoor mentoring/painting workshop. In the demonstration series you will see and learn what to select and emphasize and what to play down or even take out of your paintings in order to make a strong design statement, and work sensibly towards finish. It will be an opportunity to see how a Master Artist works in a studio setting and on location.

This is the 14th annual Taos Paint-A-Long mentoring program, Albert has painted there often and knows Taos and its area intimately.

The area has wonderful subject matter to paint, varying from the picturesque adobes; the farm/ranch museum at the Hacienda De Los Martinez; the thrilling road leading to the John Dunn Bridge at the base of the Rio Grande; beautiful, easy-to-get-to mountain streams; and the fantastic Rio Grande Gorge -- to list just some of the extensive subject matter available.

This will be an intense experience for everyone! For full details on the Taos workshop, please visit www.AlbertHandell.com.

I've personally visited and painted Taos, New Mexico, several times, and it's always a treat, no matter the season. (You can read about my previous adventures in Taos at this link.) This workshop, in early October, should give us some good color. If you've not been there before, I've included a few photos I've taken over the years. I hope to see you there!
