Class Description

Description Cancellation Policy

Description

Explore what it meant to be a “genius” during the Renaissance and learn how to paint using Leonardo da Vinci’s seductive sfumato technique.

Raphael, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo—what’s behind their purported “genius?” This lesson explores the cult of the genius, how it is deeply rooted in Renaissance culture, and why it limits our understanding of the period. 

Then you’ll learn to paint a landscape using the hazy technique popularized by Leonardo da Vinci, sfumato, which softened the edges of figures and objects to simulate the atmospheric effects of real, physical space. 

Refund Policy

No cancellations or refunds.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
