Art workshops are the most popular form of art instruction available today. Although the cost can be somewhat expensive, depending on travel, lodging, food, and popularity of the instructor, the investment of time, the instruction, and the camaraderie among students makes it all worthwhile. I have been privileged, over the years to be asked to contribute to the PleinAir Today newsletter. In January of 2019 they published an article I wrote in which I had interviewed six excellent artists and workshop instructors asking them two questions.
Their responses are still so applicable for today, so I want to share that article with you. The artists interviewed were Roger Dale Brown, Barbara Jaenicke, Jeff Legg, Lori Putnam, Matt Smith, and Dawn Whitelaw.
The two questions I asked them to respond to were:
1) What do you expect of your workshop students?
2)What should be their attitude when taking a workshop?
You won’t want to miss their responses. Click the photo below to access the article. Enjoy!
