    Join Randall for a uniquely fun and rewarding three-day painting workshop experience focused on figure and portrait studies. This powerful and popular format uses a series of exercises to challenge artists at all levels but especially for intermediate to advanced painters. 

   Students will work with wonderful models directly from life. Yay!  Demonstrations will be in oil but other mediums are welcome. Light refreshments and coffee will be provided - (1hr break for a lunch hour midday)

   Class size is limited to 10 so that all have plenty of room to view demonstrations and receive individual feedback. Register early to reserve a spot. Students will need to bring their own supplies and equipment (a compact plein air setup is ideal).  A confirmation and  "Suggested Supply" list will be forwarded upon registration.
