First thing I need to say about the Vermont Art Event is Thank You Linda Kemp for introducing me to the Holbein Company run by the Hopper family. It was in Burbank, California at the materials/learning expo where Linda introduced me to Holbein. I have been in love with this paint and company ever since.
The event takes place at the
Burlington, Vermont, Best Western Windjammer conference center and this year it is from July 24th to July 28th. Classes in the morning start at 8:30, go to 11:30, then from 12:30 to 3:30 and the evening class goes from 4:30 to 7:30.
What is the Vermont Art Event you many ask.....it is 5 days of 7 professionals teaching you all different kinds of mediums in all different kinds of styles.
There are usually morning classes, afternoon classes, evening classes and
all day classes, and the best thing about these classes is you usually don't have to bring any materials of your own, everything is supplied which gives you the opportunity to try all kinds of mediums without the high expense of buying all the materials for a new medium that you may or may not like.
This year there are 7 awesome teachers which include:
Tom Lynch
Linda Kemp
Sean Dye
Annelein Beukenkamp
Jean
Pederson
Caroline Jasper
and Yours truly David R Becker
mediums covered this year are:
Watercolor
Acrylics
Pastel
Oils
Water Soluble Oils
Fluid and Heavy Bodied Acrylics
Acrylic Inks
Oil Pastels
One of the best things about the event is the art store that they put together where you can get all the Holbein products and many other art products at
super great prices. A great time to stock up!
Hope to see you there
David
