Waterlilies c. 1907

Claude Monet

*This virtual class is designed for all skill levels*

In this class we’ll take inspiration from Claude Monet, often called the father of Impressionism, and his famous water lilies, one of the great icons of French Impressionism. Monet returned to his garden ponds again and again, exploring the play of light, reflections, and shifting colour. Students will create their own water lily painting, practicing Impressionist brushwork, layering, and colour mixing to capture the atmosphere and movement of water in the spirit of Monet’s timeless series.

For this session Aisling will walk you through the painting step-by-step over zoom. Our virtual classes are hosted using a professional film set up for a high definition virtual class. The class takes place between 7:00pm-9:30pm EST (Toronto Time). It is advised to pour a small amount of each colour on your palette and have paint water ready before instruction begins. The first 10 minutes are for questions about set up and some quick introductions to the process. Be ready with you brush in hand at 7:10pm  :)

You will receive a zoom link. Make sure to have Zoom on your device. Feel free to shoot us an email with questions: info@ourstudioseries.com
