Workshops / Plein air painting
Greg teaches pastel and plein air painting the way he learned: By giving
daily demonstrations and instruction at your easel. This
format accelerates the learning process by first seeing
and then by doing. While pastel is the medium Greg focuses
on, oil or acrylics are welcome. Whether you are a beginner
or a seasoned artist, you will enjoy your experience with
Greg.
Selected comments from a recent workshop:
"wonderful experience"
" excellent workshop - it is the best I have ever participated
in"
" Felt like Greg strived very hard to make sure that everyone
got personal attention and positive suggestions"
"
A delightful person, who translates "Yes, you can" to students"
" wonderful workshop - please come again."
