“Be creative, Be unique, Begin today…”

Painting is a continual process of growth and maturation. One can never reach the limits of what they are capable of as long as they continue to work.

Skip’s painting workshops are a great way for both novice and experienced students to improve upon what they have already learned and take their painting to new heights.

Workshops taught by Skip have been known to help students advance to levels of freedom and expression that they never thought possible. Not simply a “how-to-paint” workshop, his classes help each individual paint the way they want to and produce work with real meaning.

Through lecture, demonstration and critique, Skip guides each painter to refine their intention and express it in new and honest ways. No one else but you can say what you want to say in paint – why settle for less? With insight, warmth and humor, Skip brings out the best in each painter.

Here is a class description from Skip:

I will demonstrate in watercolor, but I paint with watercolor pigments as if they were acrylics. It really does not matter which media the students use.

William B. (Skip) Lawrence, received a B.F.A. degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art and M.A. degree from Towson University.  His book, Painting Light and Shadow in Watercolor, was published in 1994.  Skip is editor-and-chief of “The Palette Magazine”.  Website:  www.skiplawrence.com
After you have explored all the “how too’s” of painting, you are still stuck with the “why?’  Without a clear declaration of what one wants to say in one’s painting, it can become just an imitation someone else’s work.  Skip challenges painters to rewrite the rules their way, to consider their choices and shake up their status quo.  Through lecture, demonstration and critique, Skip guides each painter to refine their intention and express it in new and honest ways.  No one else but you can say what you want to say in paint—why settle for less? With insight, warmth and humor, Skip brings out the best in each painter.
