Connecticut is steeped in the tradition of American Impressionism, including the work of Childe Hassam and John Henry Twachtman. Come and learn to paint in this style and create your own masterpiece with oil or acrylic paint. Students will learn techniques used by the Impressionists, how they captured light on canvas, and how they transformed the color of light into a painting. The class will focus on art instruction, toughing lightly on art history, including the difference between French and American Impressionism.
