In this class we will study, with the use of photographs, the landscape paintings of the American and French Impressionists and discover the techniques they used to hold their landscapes together and make them flow.  Using these photographs, we will also learn how to create different levels of distance within the landscape because of how atmosphere and light affects the objects within the landscape.  This class will lead to the completion of a painting or paintings.

The information attained in this class will help you later in the formulation of your own landscape paintings, using your own photographs or from what you see and retain in memory.
