Welcome to the South Wellfleet Project Space- offering instruction in painting and drawing through a year-round series of workshops designed to accommodate learning at all levels. We welcome participants to experience the traditions of Cape Cod's cultural and artistic heritage in a remarkable and accommodating studio environment, and offer considerate and effective teaching processes that facilitate learning, growth, and enjoyment.

There is an emphasis on process and form comprehension that facilitates a communication of seeing. By acquiring an understanding of the visual field and its expression within a 2-dimensional surface, participants will be enriched with abilities that will inform them well beyond the workshops. Perhaps what distinguishes these workshops is the lack of schematic or crafty approaches to painting and drawing that concern "picture making". Instead, the emphasis is on the fact that within our perceptive capacities as well as within the tools and processes of traditional media, a certain logic and quality is inherent and generally accessible. The game plays the player as much as the other way around and we will work to define the playing field, and to understand the tasks at hand. The workshops are open to various drawing and painting media, and stress a process-based instruction that allows the participant a pathway to accomplishment.

The workshops are offered on a year-round basis, meeting in the South Wellfleet studio during inclimate weather. Throughout the warmer months, weekend and midweek instruction will be offered en plenair- taking advantage of the numerous sites and spaces that are offered in the local environment. Beginning and advanced students of all ages are welcome.
