2010 WORKSHOPS


Past Workshop: Linda Kemp - held March 26-27, 2010

World-renowned watercolorist Linda Kemp came to the Art Colony to do three workshops on her signature techniques, such as painting with negative space. Using Holbein watercolors, the ghostly effects made possible with her methods are astounding!

See Linda Kemp's website: http://www.lindakemp.com/

Past Workshop: Bob Burridge - held March 11-13, 2010

Robert Burridge is known the world over for his infectious enthusiasm. His three days of workshops here in our studio/classroom generated megawatts of inspiration. And with Holbein's Acryla acrylic, the painting sensation was phenomenal. Thanks to Bob and all the workshop participants. (Bob will return next February!)
