There will be multiple demonstrations each day that you will be able to put immediately into practice at your easel. Each attendee will work at their own pace implementing concepts discussed as a group and Paul will reinforce the techniques demonstrated on an individual basis. You will leave this workshop with a better understanding of simplifying your palette, creating more dynamic compositions, how to increase the expressiveness of your brushwork and much more.
