Armand Cabrera workshops are an intensive, supportive way to study the Fundamentals of Painting.
He demos daily.
Armand's demos take place about 12 pm - 1 pm...
during the most challenging time of the day,
leaving the better hours of light for the students to paint.

All students get plenty of attention from Armand at their easels.
Armand is able to target each student's particular needs
in order to help them grow as a painter.

Armand has gotten the benefit of both good
and not so good workshops,
and has incorporated the best aspects into his workshops.

Some Student Testimonials....

Thank you for the wonderful week at your Marin workshop. Each day was like a dream ... beautiful parks and open spaces, creative students, and an inspiring teacher. The five days of your focused instruction allowed me to gain valuable insights.
I now see light and color everywhere!
... that break-through was very exciting.

I learned and absorbed so much. I feel more confident and find it easier to simplify and begin a painting ...and I have interesting strategies to finish paintings.
I remember your brushstrokes and
strive to be more varied in mine.
During your demonstrations ...
such as when you brought a tree to life ...
I was moved to tears inside.

The comaraderie atmosphere that we as a group had was directly
from your open and supportive style.
I enjoyed our stimulating discussions.

A great big thank you to you and Armand for a wonderful week studying plein air and
alla prima painting in Dawsonville.
I had a delightful time.
Please tell Armand thank you for the extensive CD ROM he shared with us. It is such a great gift. I learned so much from the workshop. Armand is a great teacher
and shares his wealth of knowledge.
Thank you to both of you for all your energy
and work put into this time
we were able to share.
Great planning and very worthwhile to me.

Had a fabulous time at the workshop.
Armand is an excellent teacher... my head is ringing with ideas he has given me about how to solve some problems I was having.
What an inspiration!

I wanted to follow up the workshop by telling you once again I learned so much from your classes. Not only are you a gifted painter, but you have a way of teaching that is, at least for me, understandable and inspiring.

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your plein air classes. Watching you create a painting from the very beginning of a blank canvas has really inspired me to think about the many things that go into a
great work of art.

I went out painting yesterday evening after work with the goal of mixing color to look less "chalky" and I came home with the most amazing painting. The colors are so alive and vivid! My wife "and toughest critic" thought it was the best painting I've done to date.
Now I am completely inspired to paint as often as I can and I hope to join you
for more classes later this year.
Thanks for your insight and guidance.

I certainly had grown lazy (my most comfortable position) and I really needed a kick to get me thinking in other directions. Your class is challenging (which is so necessary) without being threatening.

Just want to say a huge THANKS AGAIN for the great week studying and painting with you. You are a very generous teacher--a rare quality, indeed. I think you bring the very best of everything together in your teaching-- your incredible gift as a painter, your intelligence
and wide reading, great humor, and, obviously, ENORMOUS patience!
I got what I wanted out of the week (and more); think I'm finally beginning to get it re organizing and designing the big shapes. Will keep working on that and on getting more paint on my brush and canvas; then maybe I can take your August workshop in Sebastopol and be
ready to learn more. The two workshops I've taken with you have been the best organized, most productive workshops I've ever taken. Your demos teach more than you can imagine. Many thanks to you and to Diane! And special thanks for the CD of paintings and for treating
us to Friday lunch. Looking forward to working with you July 11th in Sebastopol when you come to jury the plein air show.
