These photos give a taste of the energy and excitement of the amazing students who traveled from Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Holland, Belgium, Denmark and the Chech Republic to paint portraits and learn some new techniques.
John feels privileged to have worked with all these students. His personal thanks go to Bert Effing, Frank Audehm, Steffie Selis, and Antje and her wonderful family including Marlena and Volker, and her staff-Gabbie. Without their help, this class could not have happened. Enjoy the class.
