Workshops
His philosophy in teaching is to
share his own artistic journey, determine where each student is in
his or her own evolution and assist them in acquiring the necessary
skills to reach their personal goals. He accomplishes this via lecture,
explaining the need to reach beyond simply seeing and representing
a picture and describing the process of problem solving. That is,
by making use of the elements involved in painting – color,
value, texture, edges, composition and drawing, he reveals his vision
for what it takes to go beyond mere picture to work of art. Greg tries to convey to the students that painting from the heart, or getting into the “zone” as some like to call it, is not the absence of brain function, but rather it is absolute concentration. Many college professors try to initiate beginning art students into the “zone”. But Greg believes that mastery of the problem solving elements is essential before any quality work can be accomplished while in the “zone”. Even then, rarely does an advanced professional artist find the “zone” and usually only realizes he has been there after the fact. When workshops are scheduled they will appear in this section with the appropriate information for applying.
