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.
