The best way to study a master painter is to copy their work.

Ksenia will talk about Van Gogh’s style and approach to form and color. She will paint a replica of Van Gogh’s “Three Sunflowers in a Vase.” Instead of oils, she will be using watercolor, both transparent and opaque!

- Daniel Smith (DS) Lemon Yellow

1/2”, 1/4″ and 1″ flat or flat angled brushes – all synthetics
