- I will be teaching 3 all-day portrait-painting workshops at The Art Center School and Galleries in Mechanicsburg, PA. The dates for the workshops are:
1. January 14 for beginners and those without a strong background in color mixing
2. February 11 for head and shoulders
3. March 10 for half-length.
Each of the second two will spin off of the one before it, so I recommend all three if you haven't studied with me before. Please email me with questions, cprescot@prescottpaintings.com, or art.center@verizon.net for a brochure including the class schedule, a materials list, and prices. You can also call the director of the art center at 717-697-2072. - I received first honorable mention in the Portrait Society of America's annual members-only competition, 2012, for my self-portrait which can be seen here.
