Join acclaimed artist and educator Carol Fabricatore for the first in a three-part series of seasonal plein air workshops inspired by Childe Hassam’s "Summer Sea, Isles of Shoals," on loan from the Toledo Museum of Art. Learn to engage in the Impressionist practice of painting from life, capturing light, movement, and mood outdoors in real time. Deepen your connection to the Hudson River’s natural beauty and artistic legacy. The program offers intimate, high-impact instruction, and capacity is strictly limited.
Advance registration is highly recommended. All fine art materials are provided.
