Anderson offers workshops in Tucson and at various
locations around the country.

Through demonstrations and personal critiques Anderson
helps his students energize their paintings with a classic,
rock-solid approach to color, brushwork and design.  His
instruction is grounded in the classic atelier method, which
emphasizes building skill upon skill.  He shares his secrets
from his long study of the old masters and the
impressionists to help artists reach a new level in their own
personal style of paining.

Students are immersed in the challenge of color
observation and color mixing - in finding just the right note to
make what they are seeing come alive.  Emphasis is also
placed on paint handling and the use of impasto
techniques - applying thick touches of paint to create depth
of field.

Students also learn to capture "the big look," the broad
masses of light and dark that express the shapes they are
seeing.  Anderson helps them to analyze those shapes in
terms of gesture, expression and anatomy, learning to
recognize the qualities that so subtly express what is
essential to the human form.
