This mini workshop opens up the studio practice of Vincent van Gogh through a focused, hands-on series of drawing and painting sessions. Students will begin by studying van Gogh’s expressive brushwork and bold use of color, then work through their own paintings using his approach to emotion, spatial distortion, and compositional intensity. The course is reflective and immersive, but accessible to anyone curious about painterly expression and the power of mood in visual storytelling. No prior art history background is needed, just curiosity.
