Cost: $300.00 Medium: Oil and/or acrylic Jim’s usual workshop is outdoors and is entitled “Painting Fast and Loose” with the aim of seeing large shapes and applying paint quickly and confidently.

Chris teaches perspective at Johns Creek Art Center and Quinland Visual Art Center in Atlanta. Chris will conduct the first day of the workshop, and it will be all drawing. In the next two days, Jim will teach the application of these drawing skills to achieve loose and spontaneous paintings.
