Basic Impressionism

High school through Adult level classes

This 3 week painting course, held on Tuesday evenings from 6-8pm, is focused on exploring light, color interaction, and optical mixing.

We’ll discuss and examine the artistic revolution sparked by the Impressionists, diving into color theory and the ways light transforms everyday scenes as captured by the era’s most influential painters. Together, we’ll review ten essential principles of Impressionist technique and create artworks from still lifes and photographs, interpreting each scene with a fresh, contemporary perspective.

Artists of all experience levels—from beginners to advanced painters—are welcome.

Students should bring their own painting materials and are encouraged to participate, ask questions, and join group conversations. Sharing ideas is one of the best ways to problem-solve and accelerate your learning!
