Class Experience
This oil painting class is designed for students of all skill levels, from beginners to more experienced painters looking to refine their techniques. Where we'll delve into the captivating style of John Singer Sargent. Known for his masterful brushwork and keen observation of light and color. Sargent’s wet on wet style involves applying fresh layers of paint onto wet or still-damp layers, allowing colors to blend directly on the canvas creating work of remarkable vitality and elegance. Throughout this course, we will explore techniques such as bold, confident brushstrokes and a nuanced understanding of composition to evoke depth and realism in our pantings. This impressionistic painting style enables artists to achieve spontaneous, vibrant compositions with a sense of immediacy and fluidity. Whether you're new to painting or looking to refine your skills, join us as we embrace the versatility and creative possibilities of John Singers’s impressionistic painting style.
