Register for 2024 Classes and Workshops
I teach many classes and workshops in various painting media and techniques across the state of Oregon and sometimes Washington.
My methods are taught to students of all experience levels, from beginners who have never touched a paint brush to seasoned artists who hold regular exhibitions. It is never too early and it is never too late.
Check out my list of available classes and workshops below, or feel free to email or call me for more information. I’d love to hear from you.
Featured Class
Spring is a delightful time for plein air painting. The weather in Oregon’s springtime is somewhat unpredictable, and we’ll use anything it throws at us. Sunny or cloudy is never a problem, and for rain we have options too.
This class will be a rewarding class for all experience levels. We’ll be working color and composition each session, painting in the beautiful Oregon outdoors. We’ll respond to the hills, trees, waters and skies authentically, attending to the geometries of the composition, the color set, the nuances of shape and color, the angle, the handling of the brush, the mood.

“As one of us who cannot lay down a paintbrush for long, it is a blessing that I met Jef Gunn taking his college class in encaustic over 15 years ago. In multiple and varied painting classes, he has freed me from many goblins of uncertainty and so ushered me to the muses of uncertainty, helping me discover they are sometimes indistinguishable. Truly good art is about contemplation—especially if the hand moves quickly. Jef can help you flush out some of those peregrines of spirit.”
