I will be teaching a beginner/intermediate oil painting workshop at the Pioneer Schoolhouse on the corner of 3rd & Eagle in Anchorage, Alaska on Thursday, November 12, 2009 from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. in the lower level.  The cost is $40.00.  We will do some still life exercises first and then proceed to do a simple still life.  This will be an opportunity for artists to work from life instead of photographs.  The camera often doesn't tell the entire story about objects.  Emphasis will be on light, reflected light, shading and cast shadows and color.

A supply list is available by "contacting the artist" from this website or by going to Blaines Art Store in Anchorage.  Reservations for the workshop must be made by Monday, November 9th.  If there is enough interest, a follow-up workshop may be scheduled.
