How “hands on” is the art instruction in an Arts Sojourn painting workshop?
You may receive as much advice from the instructor as you desire, but we try to keep all aspects of the workshop informal. Our emphasis is on painting for pleasure. This is one element that distinguishes an Arts Sojourn from so many other workshops and it is why we attract artists of all levels – including well-known professionals. You are always invited to accompany Matthew Daub to a painting site or to have a one-on-one consultation. Some participants work very closely with him, but others prefer no input at all; the choice is always yours. There is also interaction between participants and much learning and encouragement takes place in this environment. Every evening before dinner we gather as a group for “show and tell;” a very casual time for sharing our work and travel experiences. The types of people who participate in our program are independent and tend to be attracted to our flexible format and the lack of regimentation in the workshop.
