Study with internationally known master artist Michael Siegel in this 3-day workshop.  Participants can choose to focus on portrait, still life or both!  Michael Siegel is not only  an amazing artist, but his ability to communicate and help each student at his or her individual level has made him a highly sought after teacher around the world and we are so very fortunate to have him returning to the studio for another fabulous workshop.
