Greg Manchess Workshop


Arnie Fenner

November 6, 2024 - Later this month master artist Greg Manchess will be hosting a workshop at The Atelier in Minneapolis, MN. As Greg says, "The workshop is filling up, but there’s still room. Join me for a 3-day workshop studying composition using thumbnail sketches. Thumbnails are the critical first step in the process of building any image. You’ll be fascinated at how very simple and immediate your results will be. We’ll build several ideas together so you can take them home and be ready to go to paint. No matter where you are in your training, you need to know this process. I promise it’ll be fun while challenging!" Hit this link to register!
