Wet PaintWet Paint
Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh worked in the post-impressionist style. His works are expressive and powerful. He used textured strokes, bright colors and unusual compositions. In this class we will learn the main principles and techniques of working with oil paints and our experienced artist and instructor Jana Komaritsa will guide you through all the main stages of creating a landscape painting in oils in the style of van Gogh. We will be painting the image used in class description, but you can choose another image. Please consult with Wet Paint one week before the class to approve the image.
No painting experience required.
