Impressionist Painting
Join us for a two full-day exploration into Impressionist Art. Whether you are a total beginner, have painted for years, or have taken Diane’s classes before, this immersive experience will have you create two finished paintings, start to finish in one weekend journey together. We will explore all the Impressionist painting techniques, layering our paintings with both acrylics and oils (a practice you may come to enjoy going forward).
Come join us for a one-of-a-kind experience in creating art from your photos, from life, or from your imaginary creative dreams. Offering private instruction within a small group setting Diane offers a special personalized experience especially made for you.
