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."
