Upcoming Classes That Will Be Rescheduled!
John Pototschnik Oil Painting Workshop

The Basics of Fine Art Painting - June 5 - 7, 2020
To become accomplished in anything requires passion, knowledge and hard work, certainly painting is no different. In this workshop John will present and discuss the necessary building blocks that must be mastered in order to create paintings of significance. We can only paint up to our level of understanding…and understanding comes through doing, not just through reading “how to” books.
It is John's desire to take you through each building block in order to improve your understanding of painting. The teaching will be reinforced by instructor demonstrations, student application, and personal hands-on instruction. Value and color will receive special emphasis.
John's style of teaching is to instruct, demonstrate, and help students apply what was taught. Students will spend a good deal of time painting outdoors!
With increased understanding, you will be able to analyze your paintings critically and pinpoint weaknesses.
$485 for the 3 Day Intensive Workshop, Includes Lunch, Space Limited
