This workshop is part of a Workshops Series entitled “HerArt” focussing on female artists and their work. The current workshop is dedicated to Mary Cassatt, an American painter. You will learn about her life, career, and techniques. In the first part of the workshop, there will be a session of quick sketches to capture movement and the basics of the human form. Additionally, we will have a session on how to  use color like the Impressionists, experimenting with light and movement. In the second part of the workshop, you will create your own Impressionist art piece.
