Lois Griffel
Painting the Impressionist Landscape in Oil / Acrylic – Postponed

Sep 18 - Sep 23

4 Teaching Days

Description

6/23/2022 — Due to a medical situation this class has been postponed until 2023. 

Returning for the 5th year in 2022

Lois’ workshop focuses on capturing color and light by gaining insight into the foundations of Impressionism. By using rich and vibrant color, you will learn how to see and paint the beautiful light effects of nature. The Impressionist theory will be combined with emphasis on the important principles for successful paintings. Each morning and afternoon class begins with demos to explain what to look for and how to proceed. Each consecutive class is based on what has been previously covered; carefully building from each lesson to make the learning curve easier and concise. This workshop is informal and fun, but be prepared to learn a lot and work hard too!

Biography

Lois was honored by the American Impressionist Society as a Master Signature Artist. She is one of only a handful of artists to sign “AISM” after her signature. Her book, Painting the Impressionist Landscape was published over 25 years ago by Watson-Guptill and is considered an exemplary source on seeing color and light. It has been translated into four languages including Chinese. Her second book, Painting Impressionist Color embellishes the lessons in the first book, while presenting many important new concepts. Lois’ paintings have twice graced the cover of American Artist Magazine and many others. She was also featured in The Artist’s Magazine, The Boston Globe, American Art Review and the New York Times. Lois has taught painting workshops throughout the United States and Europe and has had many sold out shows in New England.
