A proven way to improve your art skills is to study under an artist who has mastered what
you want to achieve. A great way to do this is by taking an art workshop in 2014. The
key to learning and growing is discipline and consistent practice. But there is a caveat.
Doing the same things over and over again improperly will keep you frustrated and
stuck! That’s why having a mentor or good teacher is imperative to progress. An
objective eye will assist in transforming your art skills faster than trying to figure
things out on your own. With the right artistic guidance, your skills will progress
significantly within a year. So what are you waiting for? Sign up for an art workshop
in 2014 at the Creative Chateau Art & Framing Gallery, Located in Ashland, Ohio!
If you will be traveling from out of town, there are 4 hotels within 1/2 mile of the
Creative Chateau Gallery, plus lots of restaurants and shopping nearby.
