About the Workshop

Each day will begin with a demonstration and end with critique and discussion. On day 1, attendees will bring something of their own to paint regardless of the subject matter. It can be landscapes, flowers, people, etc. On the second day, you'll focus on painting people from reference photos provided by Ken well-before the workshop.

This workshop is appropriate for both beginners and experienced painters. You should bring several samples of their work on the first day for him to review. You should also already drawn the people onto your paper prior to the second day.
