Pat, I think one of the best things you can do for a workshop in advance is to draw and paint from life, over and over and over again. Importantly, it will boost your confidence, and that means a lot. I meet people in workshops who confess sheepishly that they never or seldom work from life and the performance stress on them is enormous.

Remember that a lot of painters work solely from tracing and rendering photos. I've seen many well-known and successful artists stress out in workshop situtations just because they don't have enough practice with working from life.

I'm looking forward to your review of Marvin's workshop!
