Hi,
You mention you will be visiting Belgium as well, but I do not see any dates for that.
Hi :) We don’t have those final details yet. We will be adding to this page as soon as we do!
Thank you! :)
Great!!
Hello
No news for workshops in Brussels ?
Have a nice day
Dominique
Hello – The workshops in Brussels are private events for local schools. However, we may organize a meet up day in Brussels. To be Determined.
Hi, could you give us the details cause the page is still not updated and the fb page of Aaron Blaise talks about the journey to Belgium with no details either.
Thx, haev a nice day

Hello ! Just wondering if any dates are now set for Belgium as I think I saw a comment from Aaron this week saying he would be going there ? No chance of a visit to France I guess ?!
Hey Aaron,
How exciting for you! Hope you have a fantastic trip. Currently working my way through ” dynamic Lighting for the figure.” Love it
Hope you get to visit Barcelona! I’ll be waiting to learn live from you! :)
Hi! Will you go to Portugal or Spain during this tour?
Hi, I would need some information since the events are not quite clear.
Is the course on 14 May + 15 May In Drink and Draw or in the full warehouse? In the description it says Drink and Draw, when I buy the ticket it says Vollgutlager.
At what times? the ticket purchase says 10 hours, the description says 10 am to 5 pm. Does that mean it’s 7 hours on the first day and then 3 hours on the second?
The exact times for May 12+13 would also be good to know. Is it then again 7 hours on the first day and 3 hours on the second?
I also assume that there is traditional painting, right?
Thank you very much for the answer,
I am already looking forward to the workshop!
Hello! I’d be super interested to join a workshop in Belgium, is there a way to get notified when the dates are available? Is there any way I could pre-book a ticket as I am pretty certain I would attend!
Any hope for a Swedish or Scandinavian event? Would love to go to the animal drawing workshop.
That is amazing! Is there a chance there will be any classes in southern Germany as well?
Please please come to the UK! It would make my son’s life!
