You will embark on a journey filled with exploration and discovery as we search for the magical balance between the two. Consider this workshop as a series of explorations in expressive figure drawing and painting through abstraction and loosening up.

[PRAISE FOR DAVID LIMRITE]
Workshop Participant, Hannon Art Barn, Summer 2015:
I learned so much in three short days, especially what doesn’t work in my paintings and for me personally. David is truly kind, most encouraging, caring and supportive. I benefitted from the critiques because they were so positive, with much good advice on making paintings stronger.
Workshop Participant, Hannon Art Barn, Summer 2015
It could have been five days! Was just finding my groove and it was time to pack up.
Workshop Participant, Hannon Art Barn, Summer 2015
[I enjoyed] working in a positive, encouraging environment with fun people in a great place. And of course, I enjoy your very positive critique style.
Workshop Participant, Palm Springs Art Museum, February 2016:
Absolutely challenging and making me work far out of my normal little “box”. David is an ultimate teacher, super encouraging and supportive. Also, incredibly knowledgeable, but easily understood.
Workshop Participant, Palm Springs Art Museum, February 2016:
Fast pace. David kept it interesting. Great demonstrations.
Good positive vibe through the workshop. Had a great time!
