Painting Impressionist Portraits (ages 3-7)

Painting People will be a beginner painting workshop based on Impressionism which is a technique that uses short, thick brush strokes of paint to capture the essence of the object rather than the subject’s details. Quickly applied brush strokes give the painterly illusion of movement and spontaneity. The workshop will be referencing a picture of a person you admire and we will primarily be focusing on painting portraits, depicting the face, head and shoulders.
