I spent a good part of my summer giving workshops in Florence and my hometown, Calgary. The range of student personalities makes these workshops great fun. Students such as: Hank, a retired Pan Am pilot, Kesnia, the Russian animation student, an Italian brain surgeon named Palma, Marvel Comics artist Cary and Aaron, a high school student who is already saving to study with us in Florence
I design the workshops to be fun and informative. That said, they are not easy. As one student said, “I can’t wait to get back to work so I can relax.” 
The paintings you see here are student works completed in a two week course.
