Plein Air with Joe Gyurcsak

During the week of October 1-4, 2024, Joe Gyurcsak provided instruction en plein air to a class of enthusiastic painters working in oils, acrylics, and watercolor, changing venue all around Mathews to inspire creativity. This workshop’s main objectives were to teach artists how to see and paint with more confidence, and to learn how to create wonderfully energized plein air paintings which capture the unique light and atmosphere the artist envisioned from the moment of his or her inspiration. 

Joe Gyurcsak is a professional fine artist who paints a broad range of subject matter, including interiors, still life, figures, and landscapes. He has a keen sense for capturing the essence of his subject matter with a bold and candid approach. Joe exhibits in galleries across the country and his award-winning paintings are collected nationwide.
