Albert Handell (one of the world's foremost pastel artists) is having a Mentoring Program in Brookings next August. It's already half full, so if anyone in interested they'd best put down a deposit before it is posted on his website as the spots will disappear quickly. I just went to the one in Fort Bragg last month. Fantastic! You can paint side-by-side with Albert or do your own thing. Crits every morning with career building information and sometimes a demo.  http://www.alberthandell.com  To register email albert@alberthandell.com  or call his studio office at 505-983-8373.
