About this Event

Is Vincent van Gogh one of your favourite artists? Have you ever wondered how he created his famous paintings?

In this relaxed, practical workshop, you’ll explore Van Gogh’s drawing and painting techniques and create your own artwork inspired by his distinctive style. Sessions are led by our professional art tutor, Marina, who will guide and support you throughout.

This summer term, we’re introducing a new series of four individual 2.5‑hour workshops on Wednesday afternoons. Each session focuses on a different subject theme (see dates and titles below), so no two workshops are the same and you can choose to book one or several.

What Do I Need:

Please bring oil or acrylic paints, suitable brushes, turpentine if using oils, a palette, and a larger canvas or canvas board.


All our courses run based on a minimum number of participants.

If you are no longer able to attend, please contact us at your earliest convenience. Cancellations received within 2 days of the course start date are non-refundable.

Missed sessions by individual students are non-refundable.

When purchasing more than one ticket—whether for yourself or on behalf of others—you must provide the correct individual information for each attendee. Duplicate or identical information cannot be used for multiple tickets and may result in registration issues.

If you have any questions, please contact us E: [email protected]

  • 6 May – Learn to paint like Jackson Pollock
