Breaking News! Craig Nelson Speed Studies Workshop April 12 - 14, 2019


Craig Nelson 
Speed Studies Workshop in Oil or Acrylic
Author of “60 Minutes to Better Painting”

April 12 – 14, 2019

Get better painting results in this speed studies workshop, using the quick study approach to stop overthinking and use proven techniques that build your painting skills.

Craig Nelson, author of “60 Minutes to Better Painting” and highly acclaimed art instructor and director at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, will cover brushwork, color, value, composition and lighting effects, using his “quick studies” approach and techniques.   

We will paint 2 days of figure - 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon with a different focus for each session. 

The 3rd day we’ll create a larger painting in the morning and another painting in the afternoon from your own references (architecture, animal, figure, landscape, etc) or select from Craig’s photos. 




Learn how to see, understand process, deal with editing, capture the essence of a subject, and learn how to get the most out of your brush and the character of mark making. 


 Students will paint a total of 12 studies. 
Take your painting skills to the next level in this exciting workshop with internationally known artist and teacher Craig Nelson.
