Thank You, Ken Goshen!

January 2024

The Wethersfield Academy for the Arts thanks Ken Goshen for a successful workshop in January. Painting the Bread Loaf was a unique and delicious workshop that embarked on a journey to capture the humble yet captivating beauty of a bread loaf. Ken's thorough guidance taught students the essentials of working with oil and achieving realism from still-life.

We appreciate all that could make it and hope to see you soon for upcoming exciting workshops!
