PROFESSOR
Mark A. Menendez will be offering eight full-day
workshops, from January through April 2009 (see dates below).
Just as in his 2008 workshops, he is offering an open class format.
So, bring the artwork you’ve been working on this year, to finish
or want to begin, and spend the day with your friends and the
Professor. (If you don’t have a project you want to work on, the
Professor will bring some projects with him.) See samples below.
You may
work in any of the following mediums of your choice; pencil, charcoal,
pen and ink, color pencil, pastel, watercolor, acrylic, or oil and in
any subject; landscape, seascape, floral, still life, portrait,
wildlife, or even abstract, the sky’s the limit. In addition to the OPEN
STUDIO work, the Professor will also offer some new product and
technique demonstrations throughout the day. And, of course, there will
be lots of funny stories to share from over the past year!
Yes, he will explain his “New Look”!
