Explore the fascinating and surprising (often hidden) history of Impressionism! You'll paint and draw as you learn about the rebellious artists and technical and visual breakthroughs that made Impressionism so important to this day. Why do paintings and drawings that "break all the rules" draw huge crowds while museums and private collectors fight to own them? Try out this unique way of seeing and painting the world! Learn how to add the charm and beauty of Impressionism to your style. You'll leave with a better understanding of art techniques and materials, and not just history but the incredible opportunities available to Impressionists working today! Expect to leave with one or more finished paintings and drawings in the style of Impressionism, and some great stories to tell your friends. Bring a coffee or tea and prepare to have fun!
