William Kalwick, JR
 August
4 - 8, 2008 ~ $495.00
IT'S NOT TO LATE TO
REGISTER FOR THIS GREAT WORKSHOP!!
Figurative and
portrait artist, Bill Kalwick’s first art instructor
was his late father who had studied with Lajos
Markos. Bill also attended the
Arts Student League
in New York. Upon completing his studies in New York
he moved to Houston,
where he still lives and works, to become the
protégé of Lajos Markos. Kalwick’s
vivid palette and impressionistic style combine
beautifully to showcase his largely South American
and European subject matter.
He is also a highly
sought after commission portrait artist.
This workshop will consist of
models, still life and landscape...
We look forward to seeing
you!!

I am with
the Cloudcroft Art Workshops considered one of New Mexico's
top art workshops, and is located in Cloudcroft, NM, a small
village at 9000 ft. in the cool Sacramento Mtns. Every year
we invite well known artists from around the US to come and

summer which you can find at

media, watermedia, pastel, colored pencil, acrylic, ect.
I am mainly wanting to tell
you about the workshop we have with well known artist Mary
Ann Beckwith who will teach in watermedia and other
materials. Our brochure states: "Your energy-filled
days will explore creative methods of watermedia
application, including building layers, texturing and
collage. Participants will be exposed to new
techniques and materials that will allow them to better
express their visions and ideas through painting and
collage. Methods and materials will be suitable for
both representational and abstract imagery. Demos will
focus on composition and design, how to recharge your work,
sources of inspiration and the business of being an artist.
Each day will include plenty of time for painting and
optional critiques. Mary Ann has a full workshop
schedule throughout the United States. It will be an
art-altering experience!"
