In this fun pastel painting workshop for adults, Mr. Maichack will provide insights into O’Keeffe’s life and painting methods, demonstrate how to use pastels, (as participants follow along), and coach participants as they attempt their own pastel paintings in O’Keeffe’s style, with the focus on flowers. Mr. Maichack provides all materials, including professional grade papers and hundreds of pastels.

Maichack, nominated twice for a Massachusetts Gold Star Program Award, will also display his original pastel artwork to illustrate his talk. Artist Gregory John Maichack lives in western Holyoke.
