Laura Shepard
Carnation, Lilly, Lilly, Rose – Come Catch The Twilight
John Singer Sargent
Description: John Singer Sargent’s plein air masterpiece, about which poems
and musical compositions have been written, was completed over the course of two years, 1885-86. In an attempt to catch the twilight and the lamplight, he painted two young girls in white dresses, lighting their lanterns in an English garden on summer evenings at the same time of day. We are going to explore how he did it.
A short talk will be followed by a full day of painting our own version of Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose. Each participant will decide how they want to paint it, representationally or as an abstract, the whole painting or a portion of it. At the end of the day, we will share our paintings, our experience, and what we learned.
Time: 9:30 am-4:30 pm
Student Fee: $75 To Register, go to https://chestnutgroup.org/event/pyho-carnation-lilly-lilly-rose-come-catch-the-twilight/
