  CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS

Mandar Wagholikar
 
Mandar is an award-winning artist who is inspired by the magic of nature. He loves painting landscapes in a vibrant and energetic style using soft pastels.   He enjoys painting Alameda and the SF Bay landscapes in all their glory and feels the region’s natural beauty offers a lot of inspiration to let lose his creative spirit.  He was the winner of the People’s Choice award at the 2017 Plein Air Paint Out event in Alameda that was participated by forty accomplished artists from all over the country.
