About this class
Dive into the world of acrylic painting in Hamburg and discover how color, light, space and form come alive. In five consecutive units, you will learn the basics of image design in a practical way — inspired by masters such as van Gogh, Cézanne, Hopper, Monet and Hockney. You paint in a structured way with step-by-step instructions, are individually accompanied and take home a finished work after each appointment. Ideal for beginners with a desire for creative development!
What you’ll do in the class
Each participant receives clear step-by-step instructions. I preface every section — from image composition to preparation. All pictures are created in four stages. Finally, I give individual suggestions for your own theses.
On five different topics, we explore various aspects of painting and image design. Every evening, you take home a finished picture:
- Experience color effects — like van Gogh
- Capture form and volume — like Cézanne
- Understanding space and perspective — like Hopper
- Shaping light and atmosphere — like Monet
- Find composition and expression — like Hockney
On the first evening, I'll also show you a simple way to frame a picture.
Who is the class suitable for?
For everyone who enjoys painting — whether a beginner or a returner. No special previous knowledge is required. The only important thing is the desire to be creative and try out new things.
