About it
Sat 8 May | 10am-1pm | £30 “All my work is based to some extent on Japanese art.” Vincent van Gogh Japonaiserie was the term that Vincent van Gogh used to describe the influence of Japanese art on his own paintings. Fascinated by Japanese culture and design, he collected more than 600 illustrations of Japanese woodblock prints.
Van Gogh displayed these prints on the walls of his studio and even created his own painted interpretations of several famous ukiyo-e works. In this class, you'll follow in Van Gogh's footsteps by exploring the same Japanese woodblock prints that inspired him. You'll then create your own version in Van Gogh's distinctive style, using acrylic paints on canvas.
