Shaping a new decorative painting industry
2010 PDPA Education Summit Sept. 15th-17th
Demonstrations will be given everyday. This year we will have the honor of having renowned artist Ron Francis from Australia giving a demo. Other demonstrators will be announced as the year goes on. Demonstrations will not be limited to but will include demos on projects, techniques and experiences within the field of Decorative Painting. I know I am exciting to see how a large scale or technically difficult project was tackled from start to finish. An inside look at the mental and physical workings or an artists experience.
