the expressive, swirling world of Van Gogh
Friday, April 3rd 2026
11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Step into the expressive, swirling world of Van Gogh in this immersive painting workshop led by teaching artist Chris Strode. Drawing inspiration from the movement, texture, and luminous energy of Starry Night, participants will create their own 12x12 acrylic painting while exploring bold brushwork and dynamic composition.
Throughout the session, you’ll build layers of color and motion using acrylic paints, then enhance your piece with fine ink details and shimmering gold leaf accents for a touch of brilliance. Along the way, Chris will guide you through techniques that capture both structure and spontaneity, encouraging you to experiment and develop a style that’s uniquely your own.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, this workshop offers a welcoming space to explore creativity, play with materials, and leave with a one-of-a-kind artwork full of movement, light, and personal expression.
