2019 Williamsburg Seminars

Join us for our 33rd year of home based seminars...our 19th since relocating to Virginia. Brenda is working on many new project ideas for the year. Treat yourself or give a gift of a seminar to a friend or family member.

Each Williamsburg seminar begins with an optional watercolor day on Wednesday. The acrylic days begin on Thursday at 1:00 PM with a time for orientation and preparation. The classroom is also open from 7 - 9 PM in the evening those who need a little extra time to paint. The seminar notebook will include the daily projects, with amplified instructions and patterns printed out for you on vellum. The photography of each project is outstanding and includes many 8 X 10’s of the projects. Seminar projects typically include a variety of subject matter, including portrait studies, florals, fruits, and still life. Some seminars focus on special themes.

Brenda does beautiful and exciting new designs for each Williamsburg seminar. The projects are selected to include a variety of subject matter, color usage, and techniques. Seminar participants receive instruction on color harmony, value control, composition, and Brenda’s beautiful painting techniques. The paintings are taught with an easy to follow step by step method. She teaches all seminars with a state-of-the-art projection system. The large screen can be seen throughout the room. Every seat is a great seat.

Your seminar fee includes tuition, a notebook of all printed material and photographs, a light breakfast, coffee and afternoon snacks. It does not include seminar surfaces. An effort is made to keep each project price as low as possible, with consideration being given to the three day averaged cost. Detailed project information will be announced at a later date, but if you need information earlier, please contact us.
