FINE ART MASTERCLASS - A learning experience with Australia's Masters of Fine Art. Art Classes, Art Workshop, Artistic Masters The Fine Art Masterclass brings together Australia's top fine artists of today for a full day of art presentations and painting demonstrations. From September 9 through 13 American Artist’s Weekend With the Masters Workshop & Conference will bring together some of the top artists working today for four full days of instruction and discussion centered on the current renaissance of representational art in America, and where we see it headed in the future. This is your chance to study with several of the greatest traditional painters of our time and be part of the influential legacy they are passing on. Whether you are a practicing artist, a collector, or an art enthusiast, you can be a part of this exciting event and take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from masters both past and present. To learn more about the instructors and special guests teaching and presenting at Weekend With the Masters, as well as the workshops, classes, demonstrations, lectures, American Artist’s Weekend With the Masters Workshop & Conference is designed to give practicing artists, art collectors, and art enthusiasts who are passionate about traditional art the chance to study with some of the top representational painters of our time. It’s about coming together to share the principles, knowledge, and understanding that have been handed down from the masters of the past while interacting with the masters of the present who are passing this legacy on. Weekend With the Masters will foster connection among like-minded painters by not only having workshops and demonstrations that allow participants to paint with the masters and watch their creative process but also by having thought-provoking panel discussions and presentations that encourage discussion about what it means to be a representational painter today. Participants will have the opportunity to gain new skills and knowledge to take their painting to the next level while developing the insight and understanding needed to continue making traditional art relevant in our culture. On behalf of the entire American Artist staff and Interweave Press, we look forward to welcoming you to Colorado Springs next fall, and to giving you the opportunity to learn from past and present masters of this great tradition called representational art.
