On Friday, October 22 from 7-9 p.m., participants will meet for a critique session. A critique will help you gain new perspectives in seeing your work, confidence and reinforcement on work well done, and insightful feedback from other students and the instructor to help identify areas of improvement. Participants will bring up to four pieces that they would like to work on completing. Students will participate in a group critique with the instructor, and at the end, they will select one or two pieces to work on the following day.

On Saturday, October 23 from 1-5 p.m., participants will bring their selected pieces, along with their materials, to finish under guidance from the instructor. Students should bring any support materials needed to complete the pieces, such as photographs.

Open to all skill levels, realism and abstract. Open to 2-D media including oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, ink, and drawing. Space limited to 10. For more information, or to host this workshop at your location, please contact me at 704-596-1286.
