You will practice creating diagonal swaths of light, and imitate the gilded and burnished surface of the stacks to create your own Monet.

Come to this class to explore one of Claude Monet’s famed and majestic paintings of grain stacks. These paintings are considered to be an entryway to Modernism and Abstract Expressionism, with their focus on simple shapes, variations of light, and intensity of color depending on the season. Monet’s rectangles and triangles paved the way for Abstract Expressionistic shapes, such as those of Mark Rothko.

Put your own spin on Impressionism in this class. Learn to break down the prismatic colors of Monet’s palette and reassemble them in your own inimitable way on canvas. Practice creating diagonal swaths of light, imitate the gilded and burnished surface of the stacks and walk away with your own version of Monet’s grain stacks in the snow.
