Julie Baroh Workshop

March 31st, 2010

Fairiesworld has just received some great news from Artist Julie Baroh in Seattle

“My fairy workshop has officially been announced! I’m pretty excited about it. It’s a small workshop (10 people max) so everyone has lots of space when we draw, and there’s more intimacy between me and the students. The space is gorgeous. We will even have two model sessions, one adult model and one child model in a little fairy dress, so everyone gets to work from life.”

Julie is an amazing fantasy artist with many of her works published in books and used in advertising, a real opportunity for anyone with serious artistic intention and drive!
