Teaching Artist Georgesse Gomez will lead artists in a two-hour demo, lecture, and workshop on impressionist painting with a focus on the artist Vincent van Gogh.
A short video will be viewed. Participants will look closely at how van Gogh uses the complementary colors of orange/ blue and red/green to bring life to his painting; a spectacular use of color. Participants will also examine van Gogh’s brushwork paying close attention to the movement and direction of strokes.
Artists will work from van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” or “Almond Branch in a Glass.” All materials included, just bring yourself and an enthusiasm for learning and color!
Painting with Impressionist Vincent van Gogh will meet on Thursday, July 19 from 6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. at the Annex, 217 Fifth St., in downtown Hollister. Tickets are $35/person and include all materials. Please contact the Arts Council at (831) 636.2787 or at [email protected] with questions.
