Workshop Description:

Join us for a life-changing plein-air painting retreat in the enchanting city of Prague—once the heart of the Holy Roman Empire and a place where history and artistry intertwine. A city of golden spires, atmospheric alleyways, and breathtaking medieval architecture, Prague has long inspired painters with its dramatic contrasts of light and shadow and its rich, earthy color palette. Remarkably untouched by the turbulence of the 20th century, its Old Town remains a labyrinth of cobblestone streets, grand cathedrals, and romantic bridges, all bathed in ever-changing light that begs to be captured on canvas. 
Each morning and afternoon, we will set up our easels in some of the city's most picturesque locations—from the serene banks of the Vltava River to the sun-dappled courtyards of baroque palaces. Under the expert guidance of award-winning instructor Gregg Kreutz, author of Problem Solving for Oil Painters, you'll refine your technique through demos, personalized critiques, and hands-on practice. 
Our home base, the Majestic Palace Hotel, offers comfort and charm in the heart of the city. Whether you're drawn to Prague’s soft glow of lantern-lit evenings or the vibrant street life of its bustling squares, this workshop will offer endless inspiration and an unforgettable opportunity to elevate your craft. 
Sign up today and let the spirit of Prague sweep you away. 
 

About the Instructor:

Gregg Kreutz is the author of the best selling Oil Painting Essentials as well as the instructional classic Problem Solving for Oil Painters (now in its thirty-fifth year of publication), both published by Watson Guptil/Random House.

He has won numerous awards and has had one man shows at Grand Central Gallery, New York City, The Garver Gallery, Madison, Wi, Gallery at Shoal Creek, Austin Texas, and The Newport Art Association, Newport, RI.

He teaches a morning painting class and an evening drawing class.

A quote from Oil Painting Essentials;

“In order to depict something truthfully, the artist not only has to decode external reality, but has to probe the nature of perception.

How we perceive is just as important as what we perceive. Art can only occur when biases are confronted, filters removed, and the artist opens up to uncorrupted reality. When that happens, beauty can flourish.”
