Kevin Macpherson

Join Kevin Macpherson for a pre-convention oil workshop where you’ll go deep into his famous Magic Grid system — the simple, powerful method he’s spent years refining. Kevin will show you how to see, compose, and paint painterly paintings with confidence and clarity.
Through live demos and hands-on guidance, you’ll learn how the Magic Grid helps you simplify complex scenes, nail your compositions, and lay down bold, expressive brushwork from the very first stroke. Whether you’re newer to plein air or looking to loosen up your approach, this workshop will change the way you see and paint.
