In this session, we are studying Impressionism - An art style that became popular in the 1870s and 1880s. Impressionists used short brush strokes, realistic colors, and accurate depictions of light to create a lifelike impression of what the eye sees. We will be painting French Painter Monet 's "Japanese Bridge Over a Pond" 1899.

Registration is required—limited to 12 seats.
