Schedule a Painting Workshop for Your Group

I will gladly travel to your location and present a workshop tailored just for you and your group.  Workshops can be:

• One to five days (subject to location and travel distance)
• For any student level, from beginner to advanced or professional
• In soft (chalk) pastel and/or oil painting; also gouache sketching for outdoors
• Studio or plein air or outdoor-study-to-studio
• Or customized to your needs!

Here are some general details:

• Charge is US$80/day/student plus travel and lodging.
• Maximum number of students is 12. Minimum depends on location and travel distance.
• Lodging will be waived if sponsor will provide me with housing.  (There is a possibility I may also bring along my partner and dog–we can discuss this!)
• A deposit of 50% of the total per student is required. Deposits are generally non-refundable; if a student needs to cancel, the deposit can be applied to a later workshop with me. (E.g. a $400 workshop would require at least a $200 deposit per student.) If not enough students enroll, CANCELLATION OF THE WORKSHOP MUST BE 30 DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THE WORKSHOP!  This is because often I have to make arrangements for travel or lodging, and often these have strict cancellation policies.
• Sponsors are encouraged to add to my fee for refreshments and other expenses such as name tags, studio rental, etc.
• Sponsor does not need to provide meals.
• One comp (free workshop) is allowed per workshop. This can go to the organizer, housing sponsor, etc. Comp is not included in paying student minimum.  (E.g. if 10 students sign up and one of them gets a comp, that is only 9 students.)
• A well-lit studio space must provided to accommodate students and their easels. Even an outdoor painting workshop may run into a rainy day. Space will also be used for daily critiques and lectures.

These are just general details. The workshop can be completely customized to your group. Don’t hesitate, because I often boos workshops over a year in advance!
