Impressionist Oils: Expressive Brush Strokes & Shapes

Description - Discover the freedom and beauty of impressionistic oil painting in this inspiring, hands-on workshop! Designed for artists eager to loosen up and paint with confidence, this class will help you capture light, color, and shadows with expressive brushwork and bold shapes. Each morning begins with a full demonstration as Carol reveals her step-by-step process—starting with blocking in large, simple shapes and building layers of luminous color. You’ll explore how to create soft, painterly effects while strengthening your composition, defining values, establishing a focal point, and mastering color relationships. Learn to interpret your own photographs as references, understanding how value, color temperature, and intensity work together to bring your paintings to life. Afternoons are dedicated to your own painting time, with personalized feedback and guidance from Carol to help you grow your impressionistic style. Wednesday & Thursday 10 am -4 pm. SKILL LEVEL: This class is designed for beginner students, intermediate students and advanced students. This all-levels class focuses a lot on individual assistance from the instructor, who can adjust accordingly to each student.
