This 5-day course will give you a "virtual toolbox" of techniques and familiarity with the materials for painting with oils and acrylics. We will use both brushes and palette knives as we explore painting from life and various ways to use photography as a creative tool, rather than a trap!

A mid-week venture will have students taking photos and creating sketches on-site in the beautiful Sedona environment for later use in developing a composition for a studio painting. The optional 'post-modern' track will involve doing a mid-week collage, rather than landscape research, as a step towards developing a final painting.

Each student will work with their own personal studio space within the larger classroom. Step-by-step projects will lead to surprising results in an atmosphere of fun and discovery. Lots of individual attention provided. All materials are included for student use during the workshop.

TUITION: $600 (includes all materials)

I’m now aware that the palette knife is the tool of the 21st Century. I’m looking forward to the excitement it brings forth in future work. Thank you.

“Vince Fazio was the perfect instructor to my way of learning. He made suggestions either when asked or when he sensed I was "stuck"; he praised strong points in my work; he was seemingly without ego; he taught well through demonstration; he encouraged many styles of painting outside of the style he painted during the class; he offered new ways (to me) to view a painting and find the best composition from many possibilities; he treated everyone in the class as equals, no matter their inherent talents or studied capabilities; and he is a genuinely nice and kind person. My heartfelt thanks."
