Seminar Costs, Deposits, Cancellation Notices, Etc .
Because each seminar varies, costs for seminars are listed with each description. A deposit of $200.00 is required for each seminar. As always, SEATING IS ASSIGNED BY THE DATE OF RECEIPT OF YOUR DEPOSIT, so get your deposit in early to reserve your place in class.
There are no bad seats, but some prefer to sit as close as possible to the front of the room. Remaining class balances are collected during the seminars. Full deposits are refundable
in case of emergency only. For all other cancellations, credit of the same amount will be used towards future classes or supplies. In the event that Robert should cancel a class or
seminar, all deposits may be refunded. Class Supplies We carry a large assortment of art supplies. Anything required for the class is available for purchase.
Instructions, photographs and full patterns are included in the cost of all seminars.
In addition, sturdy table easels and brush cleaner are provided for studio use. Due to the variable sizes of the paintings, canvases may be purchased at an
additional discounted cost. SUPPLIES YOU NEED TO BRING: Brushes, oil paints, paper towels, pencils, paper, a large sheet of graphite paper, a palette or palette
tablet and anything else you need to make yourself comfortable. As mentioned, canvases for the projects can be purchased at The Art Loft at a discounted cost.
Projects are currently formulated using Weber Prima Oil Paints. You are welcome to bring any brand of oil paints that you are currently using or purchase a "palette fee"
for the paints being used for the projects. The Art Loft has a complete line of Prima Paints, brushes and any other necessary art supplies. FLYING WITH YOUR PAINTS Flying is safer today than ever, however, the new security measures do require a little more time not only at the airport, but also in
packing. Due to uncertain and every changing restrictions, there seems to be no definite answers regarding packing oil paints. They definitely cannot be packed in your carry-on
luggage. Therefore, if you would rather not attempt bringing oil paints, we can supply paint for a nominal "Palette Fee" Bring all of your other supplies in your checked
luggage. We can also pack your paintings and ship them home for you at the end of a seminar. |
