And much more….

Class will consist of a lecture time were the fundamentals of plein air painting will be discussed.  Students will study and learn from past and present plein air masters.  Gregg will do daily demonstrations putting the fundamentals in practice.  Then much of the time will be spent painting the landscape outdoors in plein air.  Class size is limited to create an intimate atmosphere.  A lot of time will be given over to individual student’s needs and questions. 

Class will run from 9 am- 4 pm Friday & Saturday, 10 am – 2 pm on Sunday.  The workshop will be held on the property of Camille Beckman, 179 Rosebud Ln. Eagle
