Weir Farm Offering Teen Impressionist Painting Workshop

The Weir Farm National Historic Site is offering a two-day Teen Impressionist Painting Workshop on July 18 and 19 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on both days.

This workshop is designed for young adults interested in learning more about the science and poetry of Impressionist landscape painting. Participants must have a basic understanding of their selected art form and be able to handle their own equipment.

Workshops will include introductory classroom lectures, field demonstrations and critiques of the participants’ artwork.

Registration for this workshop is free, but space is limited to twelve teens, so please call early to secure a spot. First choice will be given to those who have not participated in a previous Impressionist Painting Workshops at Weir Farm National Historic Site.

For those who wish to return, names will be placed on a wait-list and be considered as space allows. To register or for more information, please call 203-834-1896 ext. 28.

The How to be an Impressionist Painter Workshop Series will be taught by Impressionist artist and educator Dmitri Wright of Greenwich, Connecticut.
