Join our epic Stargazer across the world. No telescope needed!
“…to look at the stars always makes me dream”
(Vincent Van Gogh)
We will start this lively session with a short informal lecture about Van Gogh and his life in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where he painted Starry Night. We will analyse his painting and drawing techniques and ideas about colour, which informed this widely popular painting. During the talk, you will be encouraged to try a simple pencil drawing to learn about and appreciate the composition of the painting. By making a drawing of it you will see this painting anew! We will look at the combination of the real and imaginary elements of the composition, mark-making in drawing, paint application and how movement is created.
In the second part of the session, we will move to you making your own painting or drawing.
This class combines hands-on learning with knowledge and analysis beyond the textbook information. It will be thought by Stephen Nicholas, London based practising artist with 30-year teaching experience in London colleges and privately.
You can use any of the following materials:
pencil, colour pencils, biro, crayons, pastel, ink pen, markers, acrylic paints, gouache, oils.
We will email you a photo of Van Gogh Starry Night (drawing and painting). It would be best to print it off for the session.
You are free to select your own photo of a night sky or a galaxy to work from as well. We will send you an example as a suggestion.

The class is taking place online via ZOOM. Upon payment, you will receive an email confirmation of your place. You don't need to have Zoom installed to join the class.
