Instructor: Timothy Kitz

Join painting instructor Timothy Kitz, for this special one-night only opportunity to learn to paint in the style of JMW Turner, British master painter and father of modern art. Turner was groundbreaking in his expressive and mood-evoking style, laying the groundwork for Impressionism and Abstract Expressionism. Turner’s focus on ethereal light and his loose painting style defied the painting tradition of the early 1800’s. Using a palette of intense, luminous watercolor washes and loose brushwork, students explore pushing the medium towards abstraction to evoke feeling and mood rather than painting a scene realistically, and arrive with their own interpretation of JMW Turner’s unique style.

Materials and supplies are provided.
