This week, we are in Arcos de la Frontera while Sean attends an artist's workshop at the Bravura Academy. We are all having such a wonderful time, and the workshop has exceeded all of Sean's expectations. Micaiah Hardison has orchestrated an exceptional week of portrait and figure plein air painting of Spanish themed models and breathtaking landscapes.
The above painting (right) is by Jeff Watts, the guest instructor, and was completed in less than two hours as a demonstration. He is a very gifted artist and gracious teacher. It has been such a treat to watch each artist individually capture the soul of this magnificent region.
