About this Event
Impressionist Scene - Light, Colour & Atmosphere
Adult Art Workshop | March 1, 2026
Using a single reference image featuring a human figure, natural elements, and distinctive lighting, participants will explore the Impressionists’ innovative approach to capturing light, color, and mood. The focus is on expressive brushwork and visual impression rather than precise detail.
Participants will create an acrylic painting on canvas, learning how light and colour interact to shape atmosphere and emotion in a scene.
No prior art experience required — beginners welcome.
