Studio 55 Arts Guild Program

Wednesday, October 8, 2025 at 1:00 PM

LOCATION: National Avenue Christian Church
1515 S. National Ave., Springfield, MO

Program by Greg Chappell

Our next meeting is on Wednesday, October 8, at 1 p.m. at National Avenue Christian Church in Springfield. Our featured speaker is Greg Chappell.

From a website highlighting Greg: “Greg spent many hours on his own studying Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Monet, which evolved into his present style of realism. He feels comfortable painting wildlife, romantic landscapes, or portraits.”

“Greg is now an instructor specializing in Renaissance Art and the old masters’ style of indirect painting (wet on dry). He gives lectures on renaissance art compared to modern techniques from Ver Meer, Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, to impressionists such as Monet and Renoir, and specializes in lectures on the evolution of paint pigments from cave drawings to modern synthetic pigments.”
We look forward to seeing many of you at our meeting.
