THE DEMONSTRATION

This indoor/outdoor painting workshop will be an intensive, rewarding and fun week of study and painting with Master Artist Albert Handell. The workshop is geared towards the student of painting who has experience working in pastels, oils, or water media, or for those who have a desire to paint on location, en plein air.

In the mornings, for your convenience, the studio will open at 9:00 AM. You are urged to come early. The demonstration presentation will begin promptly at 9:30 AM. Albert will present his unique color theory that relates to all paint media and which, when understood, eliminates the problems of ‘muddy colors.’ This meeting, as well as critiques during the week, will be at the workshop studio at the Kerr Arts and Cultural Center.
