Description:
Remember Matisse and O’Keeffe? You learned to paint in their style and now you can learn to paint in the van Gogh style. In this class you will learn to capture the vibrant, emotional energy of Vincent van Gogh’s style. Through bold, swirling brushstrokes and intense colors you will explore how to create movement and feeling in your artwork through fun exercises. Finally, you will create your own “van Gogh” or copy one of his master pieces…your choice. Whichever you choose, you will discover how to express mood and emotion through texture, color and dynamic energy, just like van Gogh did in his works like Starry Night. No prior experience needed although you must be familiar with using acrylic paint, which is the recommended medium for this class. HOWEVER, if you are proficient in watercolor or another medium, you may use that instead of acrylic paint. Sue will not teach you the medium, so you need to be fully proficient in whatever one you choose. Please tell her which medium you will be using when you register.
