Held at the North Raleigh Hilton, it is a fabulous trade show with dozens of vendors selling art supplies at big discounts. But the best part is that art instructors from all over the country will be here offering either three-hour or all-day workshops.
Here is my line-up of classes.
Thursday: I am taking an all-day class with Bob Burridge on painting figures. I am a big fan of Bob's videos (Weekly Bob-Blasts) on his website, and have tried many of his techniques. This one should be fun! He uses acrylic paints, but I have applied many of his lessons to watercolor painting.

On Friday I may visit the trade show to stock up on supplies.
On Saturday, I will take two watercolor classes.
In the morning, I will take Big Brush Watercolor Landscapes with Sterling Edwards. He is a world-renowned artist and teacher. I will probably end up purchasing some of his "big" paintbrushes.

In the afternoon, one more workshop with Tom Lynch, this time on painting waterfalls. I have taken many previous workshops with Tom. He has been a big influence on me, particularly in the use of bold color. I own lots of his books and DVD's.
Hopefully I will have lots of new work to show you after the weekend!
