With over 30 years of teaching experience and insights, he focuses on the process of painting. Visit his website at biolchini.com.

Greg's five day workshop gives artists of all levels the opportunity to learn and review basics and then to take their work to a higher level.  The five day workshop gives him more opportunity to see the work of each participant and to offer them individualized instruction, so even the most advanced artists will benefit and grow.  He will emphasize studio painting from photographs and will demonstrate daily.  He will demonstrate wet and dry under-painting techniques, but students have the option not to use them.
