Thu, 18 Jun 2026 19:30:00 GMT

Registration deadline: June 11

Ages 14+

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.
