Learn Impressionist pastel techniques to create vibrant landscapes from photos with artist Jeneane Lunn.
About this Event

Classes take place on Thursdays, April 2 - April 23, from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm.

This series of four art classes is free and all materials are provided.

Using the techniques of the Impressionist painters, we will learn to make convincing landscape paintings from photographs. Soft pastels are a great medium for creating small studies or finished pieces of work. This class will offer an easy technique for starting pastels that you can develop into your own finished pieces of art. Our focus will be on enhancing our perception of color to create increasingly complex and beautiful layers of color, while recreating some of our favorite landscape places. It is good practice for painting landscapes outside in the spring and summer. You can work along with me from a projected photo or bring your own photos to work from.

This class is appropriate for adult students of all levels.

Jeneane Lunn is a professional artist who was a high school art teacher and has taught at the Community College and other art organizations around Vermont. In Rhode Island, she teaches at the Rhode Island Watercolor Society, Wickford Art Association, South County Art Association, Roger Williams Botanical Center, and in private online classes. You can watch pastel and oil demonstrations at no charge on her YouTube channel @jeneanelunn or check out her website jeneanelunn.com
