Bill’s Materials List

Join the Bill Cone workshop to explore the beauty of the California coast around the Carmel region. We’ll spend 3 days painting onsite at different locations, with daily demos and one-on-one instruction.  The focus will be on the atmosphere, water, and composing shots. There will be an introductory Zoom lecture a few days before the class begins, and we’ll get together after class one night for dinner and drinks.  

Bill works in pastels, but some of his regular attendees use other mediums, so you are welcome to work in the medium you are comfortable with. Feel free to contact Bill Cone directly if you have any questions at moraga97@yahoo.com
