A WORK IN PROGRESS: WORK ON PAPER - SPRING SESSION 2024

APRIL 28th - MAY 19th : SUNDAYS AT 9AM PST / 12PM EST

This 4 week workshop will take you from the very beginnings of my work on paper process through live demonstrations, utilizing philosophies like The Language Of Risk and Authorship With Variety, all the way through to the final stages of the work.

PROCESS VIDEOS

In addition to the weekly ZOOM sessions your enrollment will also include 4 in-depth PROCESS VIDEOS. These process videos will take deeper dives into each of the live sessions and will be posted each week after every Sunday Zoom call.

ALL SESSIONS RECORDED

All Zoom sessions and process videos will be recorded so if you can’t make the live Sunday session you can catch up quickly or even take the course whenever it is best for your schedule. The recorded sessions and process videos will be available to watch for a full 6 months after the workshop ends on May 28th and you can watch and re-watch as much as you like. That’s over 6 hours of content for one low price.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND HOURS IS NOW AVAILABLE!

I have also written a new manual that outlines, in detail, the philosophies and processes behind my painting practice. ‘One Hundred Thousand Hours’, a 80+ page manual, covers topics like materials, philosophy, my custom painting medium and breaks down the first week of the painting process. Packed with information and images this manual is not only a great stand alone guide, it is an excellent companion to the workshop itself! This e-book is FREE when you enroll!

PERFECT FOR ALL LEVELS

Set in a fun and friendly environment this workshop will be free from the pressures of art school or more stuffy academically driven art classes and is appropriate for all levels of experience. We will be starting from the very beginnings of a new work on paper with a heavy emphasis on process and techniques.

My intention, as always, is not to teach you to make work like me, but rather offer you new insights into your own creative process through the introduction of new materials and techniques that I have worked to perfect in the 20+ years of my own professional artistic career.
