One of the most popular painters in art history, Vincent Van Gogh was a French Post-Impressionist whose bold brushstrokes and vivid sense of color has influenced artists for over a century. In this workshop, we will look closely at paintings by Van Gogh, examining his use of color, distinctive brushwork, and creative composition, in order to inspire our own paintings.
Two 3-hour sessions:
In the first class, we will make a “master study” of a painting by Van Gogh, and then in the second class, students will bring in their own images to attempt in Van Gogh’s style. This course will be taught using acrylics, but students who wish to paint in oils may bring their own supplies. Great for painters at any level.
This class is open for 14+. Those under 18 years should register with an adult. Supplies are included.
Annual Registration fee does NOT apply.
Minimum of 8 students for this workshop to run. Registration deadline: 7/29/26
