Impressionist Landscapes – Beginning Oil Painting

October 29 - December 17 (skip November 26), 2025

7 weeks, Wednesdays, 10AM-12:30 PM

Instructor: Elzara Yusufova

Discover the beauty of changing light in this seven-week impressionist journey. From misty mornings to glowing sunsets, capture the landscape with vibrant color and feeling. We will explore the beauty of oil painting by focusing on mastering tonal contrasts and mixing rich, sophisticated colors. Starting with small studies, we’ll experiment with the interplay of light and color before moving on to create a full, expressive painting on canvas. Using nature-inspired photos or still life as our subjects, you’ll learn how to bring your artistic vision to life in bold, dynamic brushstrokes. 

Level: beginner or intermediate, drawing experience is helpful, but not required. Beginner oil painters are welcome
