Richard Hawk, New workshops beginning November 2014

Richard Hawk Workshops at Element Twenty Nine 

News -A new run of painting workshops beginning in November. They will be held at Element Twenty Nine Gallery on Coast Highway 101 in the Leucadia area of Encinitas. It's a nice, high-ceilinged space just a few blocks from downtown Encinitas and Moonlight Beach. Richard's work is featured on the walls and it is a very pleasant and conducive painting/learning environment.

Please join in for one of the weekday - or, now by popular demand - weekend - workshops.

Click here to see workshop dates and reserve your space.

The workshops feature specific learning experiences and all are steeped in the idea of learning specific ways of painting fluidly and freely from your intuitive core. That idea has been central to the workshop teaching I have done over the last 15 years, and continues today.
