Class Description

Description

Van Gogh’s unique style was a mix of chaos and genius—which made his art singular in history.

We will study his personal story and history of mental troubles, but also his wonderful color sense and unique brushstrokes.

Learn how to make colors sing by using value and temperature. Practice making brushstrokes and palette knife marks like Van Gogh. His composition was a really important factor in his compelling paintings so we will be covering that as well.

Students will walk away with 2-4 finished paintings.

    The teacher was good but I was hoping that she would do a demonstration of techniques at the beginning of each class and we would paint what she taught us. I had to ask her to come over to get her advice on what to do next. Her class was kind of You do what you want. Nice lady though
