ROCKWALL (March 3, 2014) The Rockwall Art League will host a three-day Scott Mattlin Workshop from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 6, 7 and 8 at Harry Myers Community Center. Participants will learn to take their landscapes to a new level with color, texture and light.
Join them for an unforgettable workshop experience with master impressionist Scott Mattlin. Students will be encouraged to use beautiful and unusual colors, a variety of textures and techniques , and with Scott’s detailed and thorough demonstrations, coupled with students working on their own paintings, come away with new ideas and inspiration for painting!
This is a very “hands on” workshop. Scott is a very open and giving instructor, spending time working with each and every student, explaining his techniques and color choices in a simple, and often entertaining manner. A class where you can truly “let your hair down” and spend valuable time with a very down-to-earth, but extremely accomplished master painter.
Bring all of your questions about painting- they are strongly encouraged. Participants will be working on two, or possibly three paintings, depending on the level of “finish”.
The cost of the class is $375 per student for the three days. There is a nonrefundable $150 deposit which will be due by March 15th when registration closes.

Artist’s Bio
Scott Mattlin is an artist with a deep and sensitive appreciation for beauty ; whether found in the natural environment; or in the elegance of a ballerina preparing for a performance.
