About This Deal

Five plein-air classes of painting Impressionism for One PersonLotus Art Gallery: Course in fine art: 5 Important lessons in ImpressionismInstead of painting in a studio, Impressionists found that they could capture the momentary & transient effects of sunlight by working quickly, in front of their subjects, in the open air (“Plein-air”).

This resulted in a greater awareness of light and colour and the shifting pattern of the natural scene. Brushwork became rapid and broken into separate dabs to render the fleeting quality of light. 

Learn 5 important lessons of impressionism in 5 classes to enhance your creative skills. Build upon techniques and create paintings while enjoying the fresh air of the open skies and smiles that come with meeting new people. 

Instructing artist, Mariam Qureshi, was recently awarded for her efforts in conservation at the Elk Island National Park & is the recipient of several visual art Awards. She has taught & mentored all skill levels and age groups and is known at several high schools, homeschools and senior homes for her classes.
