  This fun class focuses on the feeling, rather than the photographic detail, using expressive brush strokes and “skips” overworking the details. This gives you the freedom to create some-thing impressionistic rather than “perfect.” All levels welcome.  All materials included.

  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.
