PAINTING WORKSHOPS are offered throughout the year in the studio. Each workshop consists of three hours of instruction given one day a week during a five-week period. Each of these workshops, which are offered on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays, are suitable for all levels of experience since individual attention is emphasized in classes not to exceed five people. Students are welcome to paint any subject of their choice using personal photos, reference material from the studio or still life set-ups. Critiques of a student’s “out of studio” work are also offered. Even true beginners soon realize that this is a very supportive environment where we have a good time while we all learn new ideas from each other.
Donna adds - “ Teaching is very rewarding for me – some of these painters have been coming to my studio since I started teaching twelve years ago. Many had never painted before and now they are selling and entering shows. Other’s are just beginning and having a wonderful time – I feel that I have four parties a week. What could be better? “

PLEIN AIR WORKSHOPS are offered periodically during the year at picturesque locations in the Bay area. These workshops vary from one day to three days and are suitable to all levels of experience.
