Guided studio sessions with Richard McKinley, PSA-MP & HFH, PSWC-PL
These all-day studio sessions will be open to artists working in either pastel or oil. Participants will setup and begin working receiving guidance, advice, and feedback at their individual easels throughout the day.
Work in a relaxed atmosphere with in-depth one-on-one interaction from Richard!
Numerous paintings at various stages of completion are welcomed from painters at every level of accomplishment. The goal is to provide a mix of objective, as well as subjective, feedback based on Richard’s experiences as a professional artist for over five decades.
