The 12th Annual Plein Air Convention & Expo (PACE) at breathtaking Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada Mountains just got even more exciting.
We’re thrilled to announce we’re offering two exclusive pre-convention workshops at PACE, led by none other than watercolor legend Joseph Zbukvic and renowned landscape artist Scott Christensen.
2025 Plein Air Convention Exclusive Art Workshops
A master watercolorist whose atmospheric paintings have captivated audiences worldwide, Joseph Zbukvic is celebrated for his ability to convey mood and emotion with technical brilliance.
Now you have the rare opportunity to gain insights from this self-taught virtuoso and take your watercolor skills to new heights.
Pre-Convention Oil Workshop with Scott Christensen
With over four decades of experience, Scott Christensen is a true icon in the world of landscape painting. His breathtaking works in oil and gouache are known for evoking powerful emotions and capturing the essence of the natural world.
Painting is not simply the passion of Scott Christensen, it’s his necessity, like breathing. Mind and body attune, he moves through the process of creating each landscape just as a river flows over rocks, and around islands, all the while seeking a mellifluous whole. Obstacles of composition, color, and tone are transformed into opportunities with each stroke of his brush. Christensen’s goal is to compose an aggregate vision of nature’s beauty, while also delighting in the journey. “The process alone,” he says, “is worth the effort.”
Many artists point to Christensen’s teaching as the most transformative influence on their growth.
