Be inspired to paint like famous artists - this session the post-impressionist master, Vincent van Gogh. His sunflower series was created during a happy period in his life. Discover the happy place of art techniques: cross-hatching for texture, dots (stipple / pointillism) and wispy brushstrokes. Most of all, remember to start from the darkest areas and blend out to the light areas. Of course, apply thick paint - it's Van Gogh's trademark. Ready, set, Van Gogh!

Let's Paint Like Van Gogh with artist, Gloria Locke
Background music "Piano" by Vincent Falzone
Production notes:
1) Generally, I would paint the entire background with the blue, wait until it dries, and sketch over it. However, the brushstrokes show up better against the white background for the TV. And during an actual workshop, there is not sufficient time for the drying process.
2) Join us in our happy place for "Let's Paint Like..." workshops - two-hours in length from start to finish.
