Painting with the Padre: The Post Impressionist Imagination: Artists of the Early 20th Century

Ever wanted to create art while learning about the bold painters who changed how we see the world? This monthly painting session explores the experimental movements that followed Impressionism—from Pointillism's shimmering dots to Surrealism's dreamlike visions. You'll work in the charming, historic Pump House Studio while Friar Vincent Petersen, an accomplished environmental artist, guides you through the techniques and spirit of these influential styles. No experience needed; all skill levels are welcome, and every painting session stands alone, so you can join just once or commit to the whole series. Everything you need to create is provided, including all materials and light refreshments. Feel free to bring your favorite drink to share with fellow artists. Beyond the canvas, this is as much about community and connection as it is about art—a chance to spend an evening exploring creativity alongside others. Friar Vincent brings deep passion to his teaching, shaped by years working with acrylic and a lifelong connection to nature and spiritual expression.
