This six-week Modern Impressionism course invites students to explore light, color, and expressive brushwork through three distinct subjects: landscape, interior space, and figurative. Inspired by the spirit of contemporary Impressionist painters, the class blends observation with personal interpretation, encouraging each artist to develop a fresh, modern voice.
Across the six weeks, students will create three complete paintings:
• A landscape that captures atmosphere, shifting light, and the poetry of place
• An interior scene that explores mood, composition, and the beauty of everyday spaces
• A portrait that focuses on gesture, character, and expressive color
Through weekly demonstrations, guided exercises, and individual feedback, students will learn to loosen their technique, build confident brushwork, and use color intentionally to convey emotion. The course emphasizes experimentation, personal style, and the joy of seeing the world through an Impressionist lens. Perfect for beginners ready to grow and experienced painters looking to refresh their approach, this class offers a structured yet playful path into modern Impressionist painting.

Cost: $235 + supply list
