Bi-Monthly Artist Zoom Roundtable
WHEN: Every other Sunday, 10 am-12 pm EST.
Consider joining the Bi-monthly Artist Roundtable (on Zoom) with Anthony Waichulis
For those looking to connect, hang out, and delve into some artsy “talk shop” with a bunch of hard-working artists, consider registering for our bi-monthly Sunday morning Zoom round table. We meet every other Sunday from 10 am-12 noon (EST) and cover a great many topics relevant to today’s artists.
In addition, all participants are issued a newsletter following each session that recaps highlights from their discussion. To sign up for the Zoom invites and newsletter list, please complete and submit the registration form found below. We hope to catch you at one of their sessions sometime soon! Please forward any additional questions to my administrator, Anya Dribas, at aaaw.anyadrs@gmail.com.
Online Alla Prima Challenges
WHEN: Thursdays – 2 pm to 3 pm EST. starting February 2026
Orientation: Thursday, February 12th. First painting session: Thursday, February 19th.
20 live painting alla prima sessions over 20 weeks (plus an introductory week orientation for newbies!)
For all my painter pals — once again, I’ll be hosting a weekly alla prima challenge Zoom session for 20 weeks, starting in February 2026. Sessions will be carried out each Thursday at 2 pm EST. Each session will last about 1 hour, including 30-45 minutes of painting time (depending on the challenge for that week) and 15-20 minutes of discussion about the exercise’s goals and tips to make the effort more successful. After each session, participants will have the opportunity to share a photograph of their effort in a shared Dropbox folder that will serve as a private learning gallery for all participants. Links to the folder will be included in an email sent before the session.
NOTICE: The 2026 schedule returns to series 1 (see Smartermarx for original series list)
Prior to the first painting session, I will be hosting an “Orientation.” This will serve as an introduction to the challenges, a walkthrough of the primary goals, what is needed to participate, the role of the Dropbox gallery, and a general Q&A to ensure everyone is ready to go on our start date!
If you are interested in learning about each challenge ahead of time, you can see the full schedule on the Smartermarx site. For now, though, you can only see the original schedule here: Alla Prima Challenges. Also, if you are interested, Smartermarx has additional info on the general strategies that I often use to approach the alla prima (specifically the SNAG concept – Survey, Notan, Anchors, and Gradations). If you wish to join us, please sign up today! (You can unsubscribe from the list at any time.) Please forward any additional questions to my administrator, Anya Dribas, at aaaw.anyadrs@gmail.com.
