This will be a fun, informative, and productive Painting Clinic for any artist wishing to fix up those few troublesome areas in the paintings you would love to see taken to the finished level of completion.

Announcing: Michael Siegel Still Life and Portrait Workshop, Sacramento

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.

Michael talks at length about the flow of light and shadow as seen in this exquisite still life painting he did.
In the workshop, participants can  bring their own still life props or select from our collection of props and fabrics.
