The David Leffel Facebook live broadcast every Sunday at 11:00 AM Mountain Time (United States). It is something that David and Sherrie offers to non-members, members, and whoever just wants to watch the broadcast on Sundays. Non-members, members, and whoever wants to watch can continue to watch David Leffel on Sundays have access to the videos 24 hours after for free. For those who wish to re-watch the videos, we now offer them in our Artists Guild Memberships.
About the Broadcast
Not only is SUNDAYS WITH DAVID LEFFEL informative, it is also inspirational. After watching these approximately hour-long films, you will have a roadmap to becoming a better artist from one of the greatest practitioners alive today. The intimacy of these shows is hard to overstate; David is vulnerable, unfiltered and unapologetic. He speaks from over 50 years of teaching experience, revealing a wisdom not found elsewhere. Sherrie McGraw introduces David and relays questions to him in real time, and being a master artist in her own right, she will weigh in from time to time with her own questions or comments when warranted. This is an extraordinary glimpse into a modern day master’s artistic mind, honed through years of delving into the subject he loves most—painting.
