Max explains how many days would be necessary for the choosen subject (1 day, 2 days or even more). He keeps as well the right to reject subjects, which he judges as too complicated for the workshop!

The Jenkins 3 week Floral Oil Painting Teacher
Certification programm is designed to teach students to
become the best floral painters they can be, using the
Jenkins Floral Techniques that have been developed
over a 35 year period by internationally renowned artists
Gary and Kathwren Jenkins. Many of the jenkins
students have gone on to be fine art gallery painters as
well as teachers and art show exhibitors.

The Jenkins Certified Classes teach the students to strive to paint to a higher level by teaching them to be
creative and learn how to be original with their painting. They will learn how to experiment and eventually make the crossover from copying the teachers work to painting from their own photo’s and reference material. Students will also learn what photo’s and reference material make a good painting and what photo’s do not. Students will truly be professional painters once they learn how to be creative original painters.

Gold Level (week 3)

This week, the students will continue to paint more advanced floral paintings with more focus on painting
from your own photographs and how to be more creative. How to achieve a dramatic mood in your floral
paintings. The last day we will talk about the business of being a professional artist, teaching, exhibiting your work, competing in juried art shows etc. Teachers will teach you as many things about the art
business as time allows, using their combined 75 years of the art business and living life as professional artists.
