Portland Workshop

There are still some seats left in the Portland Oregon Workshop March 14 - 15th. The deadline to sign up is March 4th so email me if you want some workshop details! For prices and other workshop information you'll want to contact Maggie Turner from the CPSA group which is sponsoring the workshop. 

It will be very similar to the Florida workshop, but one day less. I use two sanded supports - one for my still-lifes (Pastelbord) and one for my portraits (Fisher 400) so I'll give each its own day... plus a bit of color theory. It is supposed to be a sanded support workshop and not exclusively a portrait workshop - but since I use 2 different sanded paper techniques and one woks really well for portraits I decided to use it as a subject.

Lorraine just asked this question on another post: Do you ever do a workshop near your home but several days in a row so students could stay in a hotel/motel near the workshop? I live in Ct close,but to to far to drive up for a once a week class.

I have thought about doing just that. Actually I was thinking a 5 day workshop on portraits... but what is preventing me from doing that is where I live. Its a great little city near sights to see, a great hotel downtown near perfect places to hold workshops + coffee shops and restaurants. The problem is it is an hour and a half from the airport and I am not sure how to deal with that or if that would stop people from signing up? 

Here's my town on a map - zoom out and take a look where it is. What do you think - is it doable? Would you sign up for such a thing?
