Workshop Schedule: This three-day workshop meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

What You'll Learn: Andy will guide you through a layered approach to studio painting, explaining and demonstrating each step while providing hands-on assistance. You'll learn how to bring different techniques, tools, and objectives to each distinct layer of your painting.

Day One: We'll start 4-5 canvases together. The first session moves quickly—you'll complete one painting (possibly two), with the remaining canvases to be finished independently. Andy will oversee the first layer on all canvases to ensure a strong foundation.

Materials: A complete materials list is included in the Additional Information section.
