Since I stopped taking students back in April, I’ve given a lot of thought to all of the phenomenal experiences and insights achieved by both my students and myself in the School’s first year.

I’ve also thought a lot about how many more people expressed interest in what I was doing in my studio– and what exactly it is I am offering to artists and arts professionals– than were able to actually take a faux painting or mural class with me here in San Diego.

The changes I’m making to the SDFS “game plan” are driven by the challenges– whether financial, scheduling, location– and the goal of finding solutions to them– so that more people interested in murals, faux finishing, decorative painting, and trompe l’oeil and the business of being a professional artist in these trades can access the training available at the San Diego Finishing School.

Because this project is evolving so rapidly, I want to make sure I don’t lose track of where we started, so these first few posts will collect some early drafts of the SDFS material from first websites, working towards the concept of this particular blog being a running record of the School from its very beginning up to the present.
