📅 May 24, 2026 | 2:00–4:00 PM
👨‍🎨 Art Instructor: Louis Sobol

Step into the emotional, swirling, and unforgettable world of Vincent van Gogh — one of the most beloved and influential artists in history. Known for his bold brushstrokes, dramatic colour contrasts, and deeply expressive paintings, Van Gogh transformed ordinary landscapes and night skies into powerful works filled with movement, feeling, and imagination.

Inspired by his iconic masterpiece The Starry Night, this workshop invites participants to explore expressive painting techniques, dynamic texture, and vibrant colour while creating their own dreamlike nightscape on canvas.

Led by professional artist Louis Sobol, this relaxed and welcoming session is limited to 10 participants to ensure personalized guidance and a supportive creative atmosphere.

• Fascinating insights into Van Gogh’s life, artistic vision, and influence on modern art
• Understanding expressive brushwork, movement, and emotional colour
• Techniques for creating swirling skies, glowing stars, and atmospheric landscapes
• Step-by-step guidance to complete your own Van Gogh-inspired acrylic painting

Participants will create a vibrant acrylic artwork on canvas inspired by The Starry Night, experimenting with texture, layered colour, and expressive contemporary interpretation.

All materials are provided

No experience necessary — just curiosity, creativity, and a desire to enjoy painting in a cozy artistic atmosphere.
