Hurry Up And Paint! 
Workshop with Steve Previte

Stone Arch Village, 835 Court Street, Keene, NH    

Join Steve Previte for his Hurry Up And Paint! workshop where you will be challenged to leave your comfort zone to grow as an artist. You will learn to dominate your paintings by making forceful artistic statements with the use of color, brushwork, and paint application while working quickly on several paintings. Expect to do great things!

This workshop is primarily for oil painters, but other mediums would work, as well. Registrations will begin in early March.
