Welcome to the South Wellfleet Project Space- offering instruction in painting and drawing through a year-round series of workshops designed to accommodate learning at all levels. We welcome participants to experience the traditions of Cape Cod's cultural and artistic heritage in a remarkable and accommodating studio environment, and offer considerate and effective teaching processes that facilitate learning, growth, and enjoyment.

There is an emphasis on process and form comprehension that facilitates a communication of seeing. By acquiring an understanding of the visual field and its expression within a 2-dimensional surface, participants will be enriched with abilities that will inform them well beyond the workshops. Perhaps what distinguishes these workshops is the lack of schematic or crafty approaches to painting and drawing that concern "picture making". Instead, the emphasis is on the fact that within our perceptive capacities as well as within the tools and processes of traditional media, a certain logic and quality is inherent and generally accessible. The game plays the player as much as the other way around and we will work to define the playing field, and to understand the tasks at hand. The workshops are open to various drawing and painting media, and stress a process-based instruction that allows the participant a pathway to accomplishment.

The workshops are offered on a year-round basis, meeting in the South Wellfleet studio during inclimate weather. Throughout the warmer months, weekend and midweek instruction will be offered en plenair- taking advantage of the numerous sites and spaces that are offered in the local environment. Beginning and advanced students of all ages are welcome.


Join us in Wellfleet for a Special Opportunity in Arts Instruction this June and July!

The NY Times best selling book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain"  - by Betty Edwards was first published in 1979, with more than 2.5 million copies sold.  Brian Bomeisler,  Betty's son, has been teaching  workshops for 20 years and has successfully taught thousands to master the art of drawing using Betty's approach.  
 
While the focus of the workshops is on drawing, absolutely no previous art training or special talent for drawing is necessary.

Learning to draw means learning to see things differently - to see in ways not frequently used in ordinary life.  Once learned, drawing can be used to record what you see either in reality or in your mind's eye, in a manner not totally unlike the way we can record our thoughts and ideas in words.  Many 20th century abstract painters who appear to draw and paint in a completely random fashion, had to learn to draw realistically before they were able to make the shift into abstract painting.  Picasso,  Willem de Kooning, Matisse, Mondrian and Jackson Pollock are a few examples of great abstract painters who first learnt to draw realistically.  
 
Whether you feel you have little talent and doubt you could ever learn; or you enjoy drawing but have not been able to progress beyond a child-like level, these workshops will show you how to gain and master drawing skills.  If you are already drawing as a professional artist they give you greater confidence in your ability and deepen your artistic perception.  Instruction is specific in teaching the 5 skills needed to draw any perceived object, place or person.
