“Dive Into Abstract Painting” Workshops 2023
In 2023 I am offering 4 live workshops in my studio in Santa Fe. Each workshop will be geared toward what you need/want to work on in your own painting practice. We will have some structure with assigned exercises designed to get you going but the focus will be on me helping each participant individually with their painting issues. Consider it as a mini residency! Each workshop is limited to 3 participants so I can give everyone the personalized attention you would expect in a one-on-one private workshop and so that everyone will be comfortable and have adequate space to paint larger than they might ordinarily.
Each workshop will be two and a half days. The first day we will meet from 3 to 6, the next two days from 9:30 to 4. Water, coffee and treats will be provided.
The cost of the workshop is $750 plus New Mexico sales tax of $63.28. A materials list will be provided upon payment of the workshop fee along with a questionnaire asking about your painting practice, painting journey and current needs. We will work with acrylic paint and mark making tools. Basic studio supplies are included. If you would like me to provide your materials, there is a fee of $100. However, please bring your own brushes.
The dates for 2023 are:
April 14, 15 and 16
May 5, 6 and 7
June 2, 3 and 4
October 20, 21, 22
Please contact me to register. A waiting list will be created for each workshop as needed. I look forward to helping you with your creative practice!
Note: Full refunds minus a $50 administrative fee are provided if you cancel 60 days prior to the workshop. If you cancel after that, a refund less the administrative fee is provided if your space can be filled.
