MORE INFORMATION:

Pamela will share her approach to painting. Using demonstrations, presentation and incorporating individual attention into the structure of the workshop, she will help to embolden each artist to push themselves to experiment with techniques they might never have tried.  We will be painting indoors alternating from working with a live model to experimenting with photo references.  Pamela hopes each artist will leave her workshop inspired to continue pursuing their personal artistic growth and striving to focus on experiencing joy in the journey.
