Vincent van Gogh – Landscape painting class in Kunsthaus

Join my painting class on landscape painting with watercolour markers. Our master painting will be “The cypress and the flowering tree” by Van Gogh.

We will focus on following Vincent’s style of short and quick brush movements, which we will try to achieve by using watercolour markers. We will use pencil as well for making a basic sketch. Van Gogh before putting paint onto canvas used to do simple pencil sketches.

Our sketching exercise will be in Kunsthaus, and we will be surrounded by Van Gogh’s and other masters’ paintings.

Watercolor markers will be distributed during the class.

You will learn:

1. A bit of history about the painting itself and its style.
2. A couple of interesting facts about Van Gogh.
3. How to paint with watercolour markers. Basic techniques.
4. How to achieve a “moving” effect of a painting using short strokes of a brush.
