October 11-14 I'm travelling to Baltimore for a David Leffel workshop!!! One of my favorite artists! The first time I saw his work is the first time I realized still-life could be truly awesome. Here's a good one:

 
*Class info*
I am starting a still-life oil painting class. I plan to begin in January (possibly Feb, depends). Looking for 4-5 students max to cram into small space. The class will be on a monthly tuition basis: $250 a month. Mondays and Wednesdays 9am-noon. No oil painting experience required, but some drawing skills would be good. Located in Palo Alto, California. Just off of El Camino Real.
 

 
If interested, please email me!
 
Until next week,
