On this one-day workshop, you will explore the painter Van Gogh's painting techniques to create your own Post-Impressionist painted still life.

You will discuss and practise various painterly techniques and study some of Van Gogh's different works before starting on your own composition.

You'll be guided through the process and will be encouraged to develop your own colour palette to work from.
