We really try hard to get the best at the best price. We pay the artist's daily fee, plus housing, car miles or rental car plus gas, airfare food allowance and our lease for the Lion's Club plus lunch and base our fee on 16 students.

We got the famous artist Lian Zhen to do a Four-Day workshop. He will do a complete session on Watercolors and one session on two techniques of Chinese Painting. So you will have two workshops in one. www.lianspainting.com.
January 12 through 15. Hopefully for only $250.00.
We have to fly him in and also knows what he's worth. We priced this workshop at cost. Lunch is included.
If you go over to www.artinthemountains.com/lianzhen.html
you'll see the workshop offered for $625 and $695!
Next workshop will be about a pretty new paint by Golden, called "OPEN". As the name suggests, Open stays longer open. It is acrylic paint with the characteristics of oil. So you get the best of two worlds.
