Ned Mueller
October 12 & 13th, 9am to 4pm
2 Day In-Person Workshop
Max class size: 15
$325 per student
This workshop is only for two days and so we will focus on the general process that I and many other successful Artists use. We will go over the principles of Design and how they will make out paintings better if we apply them. After teaching for over 60 years, I am convinced that most paintings are ruined at the start, as we just don’t give enough thought or consideration to working out our concept and design with small value and color studies. I will have a presentation and a couple of demo’s that explain this process of doing value and color studies and how important they can be. Students should feel free to ask any questions at any time and I will do my best to give a reasonable answer.

Special Notice!
We no longer require your image to be pre-formatted to the 1920×1920 pixel size. However, the image still gets resized (it’s a fairness thing). So, for the best quality the judges can look at, you still need to have as close to the resolution of 1920 pixels @ 72dpi on the LONGEST side. At the VERY LEAST, your image should be at least 800 pixels on the longest side. HOWEVER, be careful on the file size. If your file is too large, either it will timeout or be rejected. It’s best to use JPEGs.
If you need help entering your images or are unable to, please contact info@onlinejuriedshows.com or call 949-287-8645.
