How to Be an Impressionist Painter
4- Day Workshop
This Master Class will in assist all levels of artists to establish their own form of Impressionism. The workshop begins with an introductory history, foundational philosophy, and fundamental principles of Impressionism. Painting “en plein air” on the site of the original Lyme Art Colony artists, students will “live” the lesson, nurtured by the compassionate teaching of a master artist. Dmitri Wright is an inspirational teacher with a half of century of experience inspiring professionals, art teachers, emerging artists, and creatives of all levels. Together he coaches artists to find their creative voice by offering tools and methods within the universal traditional foundational principles. Dmitri's work is built upon the Impressionist Masters in the tradition of his mentors while rooted in his classical training in the Academy.
