Joaquin Sorolla: Painter of Sunlight
Beloved in his native Spain, and admired as one of the finest artists of his era, few have painted the brilliant effects of sunlight like the Impressionist Joaquin Sorolla. One of the most accomplished portrait artists of his day, Sorolla was also an extraordinary plein air painter, capturing on canvas gorgeous effects of sunsplashed light with bravura brushwork and an elegant eye. Renowned for his Mediterranean beach scenes celebrating the lives of the fishing communities and children at play in his Valencian homeland, Sorolla's paintings come alive through a perceptive display of suggested movement, scintillating color, and luminous shadows. Paint along with me as we study in depth the vision and techniques of this master of plein air painting.

Paint
along with James in this workshop as we explore the revolution in
perceptions and techniques of IMPRESSIONISM which emerged and was
developed among extraordinary artists worldwide in the 19th
century.Through an in depth study of master works from key artists of
the movement we'll examine the processes and procedures used to create a
wide variety of atmospheric effects of light and space, from vibrant
sun-raked fields to shimmering opalescent skies.
Our
focus for this workshop will feature the great Impressionist artists of
France, considered by many as the primary innovators in the movement.
Paint along with me as we explore the work of leaders of the French
Impressionist movement including Monet, Renoir, and Pissarro. The work

color. These pioneering artists also developed innovative design and
compositional strategies to create pictorial environments of great
spacial depth and nuanced textures.
