Shelley Prior conducted a two-day seminar with us on April 6 & 7, 2013. We did a watercolor of the swan on Saturday and 4 4x6 scratchart birds on Sunday. As we did two very different projects over the weekend, it was fun and challenging for all. Please click here to see two slideshows of this fabulous seminar.

Linda Lock

Linda Lock conducted a two-day seminar with us on April 21 and 22, 2012. It was a challenging two days, as we undertook to learn the finer points of painting two large and intricate projects with Linda. From how to paint authentique brick and stonework to mastering the delicate shading of spring flowers, we covered it all. The projects were 'The Game' painted on a 24x24 canvas (Saturday) and 'Hellebores - Spring is Here' painted on a 9x12 canvas (Sunday).
