WAA is working to fulfill your workshop expectations.  We'll be appreciative if you'd take a moment to answer a couple of questions:

 

1.  Recently our workshops have been in acrylics, oils, watercolor, and  oil and cold wax.  They have been abstract, realistic, and en plein air.  Are there areas of interest that we are not covering?   Would you have interest in pastel -----, jewelry-making------, gourd painting----,  collage-------, encaustics ------------  other----------------------------.

 

2.  Is it important to you that the workshop be in one medium or non-media specific?

Oil-----, Watercolor------. Acrylic ---------, Pastel ---------,  all of the above ...............

 

3. We are planning an early October 2016 workshop with well-known artist, Michael Chesley Johnson.  He will give this workshop in just pastel or in pastel and oil with demos in both.  Let us know which is your preference.  Pastel------------ or Pastel/Oil--------------
