Our 3 day workshop hosted by The Monarch was a success. Stay tuned for our next workshop for 2022.
Study Still Life with Elizabeth Robbins
Study Landscape with Shanna Kunz
You’ve probably seen us post many times about our studios at The Monarch. 40 creative studios along with a restaurant, event space and workshop space. The Monarch has been working hard to get this workshop venue going and we are looking forward to having another workshop in 2022. Stay tuned!
Ogden, Utah is 45 minutes north of SLC. A beautiful mountain community that will enchant you.
We also want to encourage to stay a day longer and see the sites. University of Utah has a wonderful Art Museum as well as visit historic Temple Square.
Hotels and restaurants are within walking distance. The Front Runner can bring you from the airport to Ogden, Utah where the Monarch is just 4 blocks away.

Hog Bristle filberts size 2, 4 6 or 1, 3 ,5. I use Royal Vienna series but any good hog bristle brush will do
Royal Sabletek series 95510 sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 10, 14, 18. (various sizes)
Series 95510 size 24 or 26 or 28 large flat (at least 3/4” wide)
A 2 inch chip brush from hardware store. (cheap Chinese bristle paintbrush)
I move back and forth between the sable flats and the bristle filberts. I like the sable flats in the shadowed areas when I want quiet passages of paint and I like the bristle filberts in the light areas so that I can add texture in the light.

Aspen Series Aspen™ – Synthetic Bristle
Princeton’s Aspen™ combines several important benefits to artists: the brush retains its shape for control and placement of color, paint releases and glides evenly off the synthetic hairs. The brush can be used with all acrylic and oil paints including water-soluble oils. The non-glare ferrule makes Aspen™ perfect for outdoor painting. A beautiful brush only surpassed by its performance.
