In this workshop students will learn every step how to
paint this beautiful trompe l'oeil window. Yves will personally
teach all of his secret techniques needed to accomplish this
trompe l'oeil window. Students will get a black and white sketch
transferred on canvas (shown on the left) and will be instructed step
by step how to paint each element and magically transformed into the
finish mural showed on the left.
Don't miss this opportunity! This will make the
difference in your career between being just a craftsman or becoming a
master in your field.

"This was a great learning experience, lots of fun, in a
relaxed atmosphere. Yves is patient- no matter what you did wrong,
he'd make it good. The one on one teaching makes the class well worth the
price. I would definitely take a class from him again."

Linda Lopez, Lake Mary, Florida, self employed faux finisher and muralist
for two years in the Orlando area. She heard about the class through Florida
Golden Palette, the online newsletter of SALI:
"This was a golden opportunity to learn from a master-
and the class was close by, another plus for me.
I have a tendency to start something and walk away- I've never put this much
time into one painting before. This week, I've learned not to
be afraid of different colors, to keep building it up until it's a beautiful
finished painting.
I wanted to learn more about painting faux stonework, and this was a good
experience. It's also new to me to paint in the classical style. I'm
hoping this will help me get better clients- it's definitely boosted my
confidence in my work!"

Kathy Hooper, Melbourne, Florida, works as a professional faux finisher and
has previously painted a few small oils.
"Yves was the main attraction for me- I had his book in my library
already, and he is doing exactly what I want to do. I'm so glad I came- I
had such a great experience learning from him. He's so easy to work with- he
has a great sense of humor which makes the class bearable when you feel
like you're starting to screw something up. He brought in an element
of hand-detailed work that was a totally different way for me to paint- a
real plus! We learned so much in one week."

Sandy Schiess, Ormond Beach, Florida, works as an accountant
Monday-Wednesday, and a faux finisher Thursday-Saturday. She's been painting
for about four years and doing faux finish work for about two. She heard
about the class through the Golden Palette email from SALI:
"This opened a whole new world for me- my personal progression in art
has been from doing decorative flower pots and candle holders, to faux, to
murals- this is a finer art as opposed to a decorative craft- I'm loving
this! It's opening a whole big new door!
Every day of the class was different and we learned something new.
Yves is a very good teacher, and very patient- we've given him a rough week!
But he has so much to offer, so much knowledge and skill to share. We were
all so fortunate to have this opportunity- lucky that he's willing to teach
and that he was in Florida which was nearby for most of us. We're already
asking what he'll be teaching next year- most of us will be coming back, AND
bringing friends.
He got me over my fear of black- he mixes black with almost every
color, and it adds depth and definition, or softens bold colors. I've never
really used it this way- it's like a whole new color!
This class was a well kept secret- if people knew how great it was
he'd be turning them away at the door!"

Jose' Bouwenke, from Zeeland, Holland, is a graduate of Technicum North
Antwerp, a four year arts and technical school in Antwerp, and will be
pursuing a career as a professional muralist. She found Yves' work and
website while googoling "murals", and purchased his book. She
saved all her money to come to his workshop- she considered the one in
Europe but preferred to come to Florida.
"I tried copying some of Yves' work from his website and his
book, but only by attending his class did I learn the right techniques.
The seminar was wonderful- I had no favorites, loved everything. Yves was a
warm and comfortable teacher and the class was friendly. I hope to stay in
touch with the people I met."
Cori Norton, art student, from Sacramento, California, apprenticed to Isabel
Truchon, professional painter and owner of a faux painting business. She was
sent to the class by Isabel:
"I will use what I've learned in this class to branch out into mural
work and will do more realistic things now. I've been having a lot of fun,
learning things I didn't know before. I plan on teaching my co-workers some
of these techniques. I was especially excited to learn how Yves made the
stonework look so real. Art is the only thing I've ever been good
at, but I've always been afraid of painting. Now, it will be interesting to
go home and try this out on my own."
