A three day workshop with Michigan artist and Signature member of the Pastel Society of America, Jim Markle

Award winning and nationally known Master plein air painter Jim Markle will present a three day pastel workshop entitled Painting with Jim.  This in-depth plein air workshop will cover various ways to approach painting the landscape in pastel and will include demonstrations. 

The workshop will include two plein air painting sessions per day, ongoing individual critiques as you work and will culminate in an evening session on the third day, discussing the artwork in progress, and the experience of painting with pastels in plein air.  

The painting locations, selected by Markle, will change each day, with a morning session and an afternoon session at each place. 

Markle is a signature member of the Pastel Society of American and a Master Member of the Great Lakes Plein Air Painters Association.  He has won numerous awards in many national art competitions.  He has years of experience teaching drawing and painting in the U.S., Canada, France and Italy and has written numerous articles for art publications.  He’s the inventor of the Jim Markle Pastel Easelbox and travels extensively throughout Europe and the United States painting en plein air.  Great American Art Works, a manufacturer of pastels for the professional, markets a Jim Markle North American Landscape Set of pastels.  His work is represented in private and corporate collections throughout this country and the Far East

Artists in any medium are welcome, though Markle’s expertise and focus for this workshop is in the field of painting with pastels.  Artists at any stage of their development are welcome, though all participants should expect to start at least three paintings during the workshop.

Participants are responsible for their own art materials and their own meals and accommodations.  A light meal will be provided on the evening of July 10.
