Great job, Michael. I can almost feel the chill in the air, picture the flickering of filtered light forcing its way through the trees in the slight breeze, hear the warble of distant birds and smell the aromas that early morning conjures up. It is amazing how a little paint on a canvas can stimulate the imagination and the senses in such a compelling way.

I have taken workshops over the past 20 years and Michael Orwick's was by far my favorite. He excels in both verbal instruction and visual demonstration combining both with supportive individual critique, and above all FUN! I recommend any workshop by Michael for beginners and advanced alike.

Michael, You Rock! Thanks for the a great class! I learned so much and really appreciate your efforts to teach so much, to give us so much information - way more than the other instructors.

Michael, thank you so much for the wonderful, fun and informative workshop!! We are grateful to you for taking the time for our little group. Thank you!
-Margaret Plumb
Thank you so much Michael. I learn something every time I take your class. This workshop was especially stimulating with a great group of other students who were serious and willing to soak up the knowledge presented. You have a great spirit of generosity that permeates the classroom, making us all able to see things in a new way. I would definitely want to take this workshop again.

I enjoyed the whole workshop. Good theory, lots of great tips and good critique. It was a great venue with fun exercises. I can’t wait for next year.
-Renee Jaspers-Johnson
Love the honesty and helpful suggestions. Color theory and color analysis were really easy to understand and useful.
-Claudia Zimmerman
Fun as always - Good ideas - I like the way you clearly and gently critique. I look forward to next year.

My 1st workshop - love the concentrated time without having to clean up! There was such a great atmosphere - easy and expert combination in your teaching Michael. I Loved hearing Eeva, the owner of Dragonfire Gallery talk about her side and what she wants from the artists she represents - very informative and helpful. I plan on doing more of your workshops. Great resource materials - maybe soon I will venture outdoors for plein air.
-Terry Halverson
Great workshop! Love the freedom with color.
-Cheryl McConnell
As a beginner, I found the workshop to be informative and helpful.
-Dave Montgomery
I really appreciate your ability to reach both the novice and the experienced painter.

Michael is down to earth, he is willing to hang out together but he is an authentic teacher. Everyone learned allot just listening to him. Thank you.
-Chris
Thank you for providing the opportunity to pick up my brushes – first time in 20 years! I enjoyed the different techniques and look forward to mixing and matching and making them my own. I enjoyed learning it all!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us.
-Carla Richey
I appreciated the nonthreatening environment that was immediately established. I enjoyed your teaching style of less formality with touches of humor. I would be interested in attending again next year.
-Bob Low
This is the second time I have taken this class – but I learned so many new tips and techniques. I can’t wait to try them at home. Wonderful class – wonderful teacher. I can’t wait for the next one.
-Trieste Andrews
I have taken many painting workshops and classes over the years and Michael's class has been by far the best yet. It has also been so much fun. Michael knows how to break down a complicated process into small bites and simple language and set his students up to be successful. He is open and generous with his time. We had an after class bonus of plein air session. I will look for opportunities to take more workshops from Michael in the future.
