Thursdays, May 28 and June 4 and 11

Brought to you by the Grosse Pointe Artist Association:

One of the best ways to learn posthumously from a master painter is to paint a “master copy." In this workshop we will study Walk on the Beach by Spanish painter Joaquin Sorolla. His style is a variant of Impressionism. He is famous for his dexterous representation of the people and landscapes under the bright sunlight of his native land and sunlit water.

Supplies

A $22.50 materials fee is included in the registration fee and covers all materials needed for the three classes including one 8inx10in canvas.
