What people are saying about Jim's workshops: "Just wanted to say that your class instruction is one of the best I've taken in all my years of painting. Not only did I learn perspective and painting loose, I made lots of new friends." K.C. Greenville, SC "My happiest Plein Air experience yet. Not just the weather, mainly your great influence." ~ D.S. Quincey, Ill. "Your method of teaching is superb and I was challenged in a great way." ~ J.A. Charleston, SC "What an enlightening,learning and wonderful 3 days.You opened my eyes and stretched my limits." ~ J.B. Augusta, GA "Informative, invigorating, and so pleasant" ~ D.D. Charlotte, NC "What a wonderful workshop.You inspired me to paint again" ~

When: Jun 7-9, Thursday-Saturday Where: Saluda, N.C. Cost: $325.00 Medium: Oil and/or acrylic Pablo Picasso said that "art is the elimination of the unnecessary". The focus of the workshop will be to attempt to master that principle. We will learn how to see large shapes and apply paint quickly and confidently. There will also be an emphasis on simplifying shapes, color harmony, painterly marks, values, design, and composition. And all of this is accomplished with a limited palette of three primaries, plus white. The workshop will be taught for three full days in the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina. Participants will meet every day at Jim's studio and go to that day's plein air location. There will be daily demonstrations, lots of great painterly sites and a general critique of the day's work at the end of each day. The workshop price includes a tasty catered lunch brought to the site each day by the Saluda Grade Cafe. In the event of rain there is ample room in Jim's studio. The workshop is open to all levels, from beginners to advanced. Airline service is available to Greenville/Spartanburg, S.C., which is about a forty five minute drive to Saluda, to Asheville, N. C., which is about twenty-five minutes from Saluda, and to Charlotte N.C., which is about one and a half hours from Saluda.Rental cars are available at the airports.

When: You pick the date Where: On Site at your location Cost: $300.00 Medium: Oil and/or acrylic
I am offering a new idea for Workshhops in 2011 ........ "Have Paints Will Travel" I will come to your location and conduct a "plein air" outdoor 3 day workshop. If you gather six or more students, in addition to yourself, you will take the workshop for free. I will arrive in advance and select some great painting locations. The cost of this workshop will be $300 per student. Any 3 days of the week are available, as long as they don't conflict with my other 2011 workshop schedule. As with any of my scheduled workshops, we will learn how to see large shapes and to apply the paint quickly and confidently. There will also be an emphasis on simplifying shapes, color harmony, painterly marks and compositions.
