I've been leading artist workshops at the Triple D Game Farm for
more than 5 years now, and each one is better and more fun than the
last. Any artist who loves animals and wants to work on his/her
drawing, values, and foundation will find the workshop valuable. In
each workshop, we focus on:
...and more. Read on for what's coming up, highlights from

"As you will all find out, the larger brushes and larger pencils
will be the preferred sizes from the cattle prodder Julie, so
just leave the little stuff at home. Don't give her a chance to
make an example of your picky drawing and painting styles by
bringing picky small stuff to work with. This is about speed and
freedom of expression. She doesn't give you time to be picky and
you will thank her for it when you're done. Remember, these are
LIVE ANIMALS that never stop moving. If you are practicing with
the cats and dogs from home, you will have a good start, but
trust me, these animals are just this side of wild and they
never stop moving. It will test your skill at gesturing and it
will make you a better artist in the long run. If you are a
loose artist in your work, you will get better. If you are a
picky artist you will get better.
The timed paintings will test your ability to make fast strokes
of color and decisions about shapes and shadows and again it
will test you in a good way and you will see results within a
day.
This is by far the best experience I have had in many years and
that is why I am coming back with my daughter. The animals will
have an impact on you and the workshop will test you. In the
end, you will walk away with a great appreciation for the leader
Julie, and you will have a clear understanding of where your
weaknesses are and you will strengthen your skills for SURE.
Bring what you can, but make sure you are willing to go through
a ton of pages of sketch paper and you will paint faster than
you ever have. You will also be very glad you signed up for this
experience and I can guarantee you will see a change in your
work and skills when it's all done. The ranch is amazing, the
people are even more amazing and the animals will just blow you
away.
I am a full time Creative Director who paints as much as I can.
This workshop has had lasting effects on my future and Julie
will get every drop of your energy left at the ranch. I use the
skills Julie taught me 2 years ago to this day, in my job and in
my paintings. Get some rest and get ready for a wild ride of
shooting, drawing, painting, training and good talk with fellow
artists. The views are amazing and the folks at the ranch will
make you want to leave wherever you are from and move to
Montana."
