Essential Classes FECHIN ART WORKSHOP This year the Fechin Art Workshop is being reinstituted in Taos under the auspices of Fine Art Services. This successful program, conducted for more than 20 years at the Donner Ranch in San Cristobal, ended in 2006. Students enrolled in weeklong workshops that were taught by nationally known painters and sculptors. The 2011 workshop is co-taught by master painters David A. Leffel and Sherrie McGraw. It will be held May 13-17 at the Hotel St. Bernard, in Taos Ski Valley, 19 miles northeast of Taos. “Still Life, Figure and Portrait Painting” includes five days of instruction, an evening dual demonstration at the Harwood Museum and a personal studio visit. Room and board is offered by the Hotel St. Bernard. Attending students come from coast to coast, as well as from Canada. Pictures of classes will be posted daily on the website. Mid-week lectures and demonstrations will be open to the public. Future classes will include nationally and internationally established artists in a variety of mediums.
