  In this class we will focus on capturing light, atmosphere, and mood through loose, expressive brushwork rather than fine detail. We will emphasize quick, effective strokes, avoiding meticulous detail to create a “dream-like” or “hazy” effect inspired by Monet and Pissarro. This is a fast and loose style that is lots of fun. All materials included.

  Instructor: Sheila Hawthorne Klotz

  Dates: Thursdays 6/18 - 7/9 (4 sessions)
