Hollis Chatelain–Master Art Series

I recently returned from a five-day workshop with Hollis Chatelain entitled Understanding Threads. This was the seventh workshop in a ten-part series begun six years ago. We meet once a year in Silverton, Oregon at The Oregon Garden. For the first three years we drew with pencil, the third year concentrating on portraiture. Since then […]
