Impressionism has captured people’s imagination since its first exhibition in Paris in 1874, and artists have long sought to understand how the Impressionists created their paintings and how their techniques might be replicated. So whether you’re an artist who wishes to learn more about painting or an art-lover who would like to get a deeper insight into Impressionism, this webinar on Renoir provides a wonderful opportunity to learn, explore and enjoy some of his most celebrated paintings!
Pierre-Auguste RENOIR (1841-1919) was was one of the leading painters of the Impressionist style, although he is a far more serious painter than is popularly known.
The themes of his paintings revolve around feminine sensuality, carefree social scenes during leisure hours, and modern Parisian life. Pleasure and happiness exude from his canvases, and as a consequence, he has been referred to as “the painter of happiness.” His treatment of intimate and nuanced human interactions elevate him above many of his contemporaries.

This 3-hour live webinar is divided into three parts:
- Talk . . . 45 minutes
- Painting Demonstration . . . 120 minutes

Introductory Talk (45 minutes)
The webinar begins with an overview of Renoir’s life and career, covering topics such as his background, training and influences, his style and technique and how these evolved during his long career, his use of colour, his signature application of paint, and his methods and materials.
We will then focus on his style and approach to painting in the 1870s, which represents his pure impressionistic phase before his style and attitude moved towards a more formal classical direction.
Painting Demonstration (120 minutes)
You will have the opportunity to watch a 2-hour demonstration of one of his paintings from the 1870s. This demonstration will cover what materials he used, including oil colours, mediums, solvents and brushes, and the different stages of the painting. You will be shown a range of different techniques that Renoir employed in this painting, such as dry-brush, scumbling, glazing and impasto.
The technical information, such as pigment analysis and materials, in this demonstration painting have been have been analysed by the research departments at major art museums, and the reproduction in this demonstration is based on their findings.
Live Q&A (15 minutes)
You will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout the painting demonstration and time will be allowed at the end of the webinar for a more detailed discussion and question and answer session. You can follow up with me after the webinar if you have any further questions or if you would like to enquire about more in-depth courses and workshops.

As someone who has never painted, I’m finding this course excellent. The class is in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and the instruction is second to none. Highly recommended.

I really learned a lot and definitely want to do more of your classes. It was very well planned, with just the right balance of theory and practice, and the notes to take away will be very useful.
