Susan Blackwood – May 7-9 – Finding Your Unique Voice – Plein Air or Studio Paintings – $325
Howard Friedland – May 11-13 – Painting the Nashville Landscape – $350
Here’s what fellow Chestnut Roger Dale Brown had to say about Howard and Susan:
“Howard Friedland has been a central figure with Oil Painters of America for many years and has been awarded several prestigious awards at the OPA National and Regional competitions. He is one of the most respected artists and teachers in the business, and I have heard great things about his teaching.
Howard and his wife Susan Blackwood run a studio and art school in Bozeman, Montana and teach internationally. Their individual personalities, Howard being quiet and calm, Susan being vivacious and outgoing, make for engaging discussions. They are a wealth of knowledge and full of passion about art, as well as being pleasant people and easy to work with.
The critiques Howard has given me have provided me with some of the best artistic advice I will always remember. Susan for years has been considered one of the top artists in the country. She is known for her figurative and landscape paintings. Susan and Howard both, are sought after instructors.
Both Susan and Howard have been great friends for the last few years and have helped me out immensely. I absolutely recommend both of them as great instructors that any artist would be fortunate to take from.”
