Materials for this program

Using watercolors, capture the nuances of the light and flora in the Smithsonian’s beautiful Enid A. Haupt Garden just as Paul Cézanne would have done.

This landscape painting intensive experience focuses on helping you to see the gardens through Cézanne’s eyes and then to develop your own Post-Impressionistic interpretation of the garden. The class includes demonstrations and lectures on color theory, optical color mixing, and landscape composition. For inspiration, works by Cézanne are viewed and discussed.

Students are recommended to have basic drawing and watercolor painting skills.
