Sarah Bernhardt
All levels

Inspired by Hokusai, Hiroshige, Hasui: Japanese Landscapes in Print on view at the Vero Beach Museum of Art, this class explores the structure and movement of ocean waves through observation, simplification, and intentional painting. Working in oil or pastel, students learn to see water as a series of organized shapes and value relationships rather than surface detail. Through a step-by-step approach, students develop a seascape painting from concept to completion. All instruction is applied directly to each student’s final work and is influenced by the techniques of master painters Frederick Waugh and Ivan Aivazovsky. Recommended supply list coming soon!
