About the Workshops:

These workshops are designed to loosen up even the tightest painter and break the niggling detail habit. Painting loose is much more than a technique. It requires an understanding of specific design concepts in order to free one’s mind. Each day, Eric will focus on one of these principles. He will show how to construct a beautiful painting in one sitting, and free creative thinking from cumbersome theories of color and composition. There will be time for individual instruction in a relaxed atmosphere.

All levels of expertise and individual style will benefit from Eric’s broad depth of experience. Beginners are welcome.

A variety of subjects will be painted which may include landscapes, marinescapes, florals, streetscapes and still life. Materials list and guide to lodging will be furnished upon receiving deposit. A link to the materials list is on the workshop page of www.ericwiegardt.com.

Cancellation Policy: Once your place has been reserved, there will be a non-refundable cancellation charge of $50.00. No refund after 30 days prior to the class. We reserve the right to cancel any workshop, in which case we will make a full refund.
