​
What is it about Vermeer? His paintings always make me think that there was some incredibly complicated math was involved in the compositional planning. Everything adds up. Every shadow and edge are carefully considered. Lets try out a full Vermeer! We will be doing a "remastered" version of this piece- bringing back the blues that have faded over time. We will spend quite a bit of time planning out this one so we can anticipate an intensive drawing phase.
​
Aisling will walk you through the painting step-by-step over zoom. For your convenience, you will receive a Zoom link about 30 minutes before every class in a session. Our virtual classes are hosted using a professional film set up for a high definition virtual class. The class takes place between 7:00pm-9:30pm Eastern Time (Toronto). The first 10 minutes are for questions about set up and some quick introductions to the process. Be ready with your brush in hand at 7:10 :)

Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida
​
Llegada de las Barcas
(Arrival of the Boats)
*This virtual class is designed for intermediate to advanced painters.
The first session will be done in acrylics and the rest will be done in oils*
​
*This is a two part class taking place of 2 consecutive Thursdays*
​
​
Painted in 1903 when Sorolla’s style had fully matured, this atmospheric and extraordinarily fluid composition depicts the fishermen’s return and the unloading of the catch. An expressive snapshot which energetically renders the reflections, movement, and intense colours of light and water, the painting has all the hallmarks of the artist’s most spontaneous canvases.
Sorolla, who hailed from Valencia city, is renowned for his depictions of coastal scenes in the provinces of Castellón, Valencia, and Alicante – many of which showcase recognizable landscapes along the shores of Jávea.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir
​
Two Sisters (On the Terrace)
*This virtual class is designed for intermediate to advanced painters.
The first session will be done in acrylics and the second session in oils*
​
*This is a two part class taking place of 2 consecutive Mondays*
​
​
The Two Sisters (On the Terrace)" is one of Pierre-Auguste Renoir's most famous paintings, completed in 1881. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. The painting depicts two young women sitting outdoors, enjoying a leisurely afternoon on a terrace overlooking a river, believed to be the Seine. The Two Sisters is often interpreted as a celebration of the simple joys of sisterhood and companionship, as well as a reflection of Renoir's fascination with the leisure activities of the Parisian bourgeoisie. The painting exemplifies Renoir's mastery of light, colour, and composition, and it remains a beloved work of art admired for its beauty and charm. And it happens to be one of Lynn's favourite paintings ever! Thanks for the request Lynn! Looking forward to this one.
