#2 Alain Picard - 
Painterly Self-Portrait in Pastels (Live)
Proficiency in both oils and pastels makes Alain Picard the perfect teacher for artists looking to learn or improve their skills with pastels.

Afternoon Sessions

#3 Grace Mehan DeVito - 
Portrait Demo in Oil (Video and Live)
Weekend CSOPA workshops with Grace DeVito sell-out quickly for good reason. We learn so much from her successful blend of techniques spanning decades of learning,  teaching, and important commissions.

#4 Igor Babailov - 
Classic Drawing (PowerPoint and Live) 
Fine art begins and continues with drawing. Here is a special opportunity to learn classic drawing techniques from Russian Academy-trained Igor Babailov. This acclaimed painter of popes, nobility, celebrities and world leaders blends tradition with contemporary relevance.
