Greg Biolchini

Biolchini Workshops

Greg using plein air

"I teach the simplest, fastest and most direct methods for creating successful paintings."

Drawing on over 30 years of teaching experience and insights, Greg focuses on the process of painting. And it's the obvious pleasure Greg takes in sharing his painting process with fellow artists that makes his workshops and demonstrations so popular.

Greg teaches workshops in pastel, oil and Acrylic as well as in plein air and portraiture.

The schedule below is for workshops taught at Greg's Riverfront Studio, from December 2009 through May 2010.
