We will be going deeper into making better and more appealing artworks with a variety of strategies. After dinner, I will also show you Photoshop techniques Saturday evening for taking your works to the next level and creating better pathways for finishing your artworks. You will be given a Photoshop guide and have access to a large photo file of over 1500 inspiring artworks. Ken will demonstrate painting using oil and pastel. He will discuss the idea of making strong starts and keeping the way open for more interesting and dramatic finishes. Ample time will be given to live problem solving and creative options. In addition to making art works, Ken will talk about business and promotion, which are necessary to be a successful artist in the marketplace. There will be serious discussions, laughs, and your questions. We will all come away with new tools to take your art to the next level.
