Pastel Artist & Instructor Gregory MaichackOctober 24, 2017, Buckland, MA The workshop's featured artwork was one of 20 recently discovered unfinished works of art (most of them chalks). The unfinished chalk (#8) chosen was one of 3 unfinished Halifax Houses. The Halifax House was one of RSW's most beloved subjects, so much so, that upon hearing a colleague was in the area to paint it, he angrily proclaimed, "...that's MY house!" Anyway, this would prove to be an ambitious challenge because in this workshop the participants would be asked to "imagine" the incomplete portions of the work for themselves and then apply RSW's style. A seasoned pro at teaching pastel technics and recognized by the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) Boston, Massachusetts Cultural Council, Maichack was up to the task. He demonstrates in his 2-hour workshop how beginners to the accomplished artist can apply the techniques used by artists such as Woodward and other masters like van Gogh, O'Keefe, Monet to make their own works of art. It is a wonderful program and we suggest you visit his website GregoryMaichack.com or learn more. What cannot say enough about how impressed we are with Greg and his work, the Friends of RSW (particularly Janet Gerry and Carl Nelke) and the Buckland Public Library for their efforts in making this possible. WELL DONE, let's do more! Participants working on their masterpieces
