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
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.

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.
