Join us for a special event at the Cincinnati Art Club where artist Kevin McCarty will guide you through finding your inspiration/s from Monet's iconic painting, "Haystacks at Sunset." Explore techniques, colors, and emotions behind this masterpiece in person. Don't miss this unique opportunity to delve into the world of Monet with a talented artist by your side!

"Haystacks at Sunset" by Claude Monet, is a great representation of his Haystack series! Come to this class to explore one of Claude Monet’s famed and majestic paintings of grain stacks. These paintings are considered to be an entryway to Modernism and Abstract Expressionism, with their focus on simple shapes, variations of light, and intensity of color depending on the season. Monet’s rectangles and triangles paved the way for Abstract Expressionistic shapes, such as those of Mark Rothko. Put your own spin on Impressionism in this class. Learn to break down the prismatic colors of Monet’s palette and reassemble them in your own inimitable way on canvas. Practice creating diagonal swaths of light, imitate the gilded and burnished surface of the stacks, and walk away with your own version of Monet’s grain stacks in the snow. ALL in one afternoon!

NOTE: Kevin will provide the canvas and the acrylic paints for this workshop. Just bring yourself and possibly register a friend to join you! Don't miss out on this chance to learn of Monet's famous work in this Saturday afternoon workshop! You will come away with a deeper understanding and appreciation for Monet and his haystacks.....
