Landscape Paintings and Art Workshops by Santa Fe Artist, Mike Mahon
Because Mike enjoys teaching almost as much as painting, he holds numerous art workshops throughout the country year-round. Each session covers such topics as painting in oils, pastels and acrylics, how to paint from your own landscape pictures, how to paint out doors, and much more. Mike teaches 3 basic workshops – Mastering the Painting Process, Portrait Painting, and Plein Air Painting. In addition, he is happy to customize his workshop for particular needs. His workshops focusing on the Santa Fe Plaza and historic Canyon Road and Taos landscapes are popular annual events.
