One of my students painting in Tuscany |
- What medium do you want to work in?
- Is this an instructor you'd like to learn from (style, reputation, ask other artists re:bedside manner- all good artists are not necessarily good instructors)
- Is it a location you'd love to visit
- Subject matter-landscape, light, what the area is uniquely known for?
- What will be the physical requirements of painting outdoors (walking, weather, carrying gear), are their accomodations if you have any limitations?
- Will there be activities for a spouse or travel companion who may not be painting?
- Price (local workshop vs. those requiring airfare), possibilities to use frequent flyer points or share hotel room with another student to cut costs
- Be sure to plan way in advance. Workshops often have limited space and sell out early.
- Look in the back of art magazines for ads or search on line, Shaw guides for workshop options.
- Enjoy the anticipation of looking forward to a very special experience!
