The Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America is one of Washington, D.C.’s hidden treasures and stands as a meditative oasis of peace. Capture the nuances of the natural light with water-based oils, watercolors, or acrylic paints on canvas as Impressionist artists would. This landscape painting intensive experience focuses on assisting students to examine the gardens as if through Cézanne’s eyes and then to develop their own Impressionistic interpretation.
The workshop includes teacher-led demonstrations and lectures on color theory, optical color mixing, and landscape composition. For inspiration, works by Cézanne are viewed and discussed. Exhibiting respect for the gardens, students use only water-based solvents and paints. Students should have basic drawing and painting skills.
