The Cedarburg Cultural Center is proud to announce a three-day plein air workshop with fine artist Steve Gerharts. Held outdoors, the artist will demonstrate painting in oils for the first two hours. Students will have the rest of class to work on their paintings while the instructor provides individual instruction to students painting within 400 yards.

About the instructor: Steve Gerhartz (b. 1971) currently resides in Wisconsin. He has been painting en plein air since 1986. The Lyme Academy of Fine Arts in Old Lyme, Connecticut, is where he received his formal training in landscape, portrait, figurative painting, and sculpture. In 1992, Gerhartz was the recipient of the Stobart Outdoor Painting Fellowship. After attending the Lyme Academy of Fine Art, Steve moved back to Wisconsin to begin a full-time career as an artist.

"Painting outside on my own as a professional artist has been a great experience, I am constantly learning from nature and understanding what happens in certain lighting conditions. I paint on location in all sizes; even very large paintings are started outside. There is nothing quite as emotional for me as working on a large painting outdoors, trying to capture all that form and space into a painting."

Currently, Steve works on landscapes, still-lifes, and portraits for gallery shows in a number of midwestern galleries, and he has consistently taught workshops in both painting and sculpture for the past twenty years. Steve is comfortable working with students of all ages and artistic levels since most of his teaching is done one on one.
