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
    • DS New Gamboge
    • DS Permanent Orange

    • Sennelier Royal Blue or DS Cobalt Blue
  • 1/2”, 1/4″ and 1″  flat or flat angled brushes – all synthetics

  • a ceramic plate or a clean tray (for mixing opaque color)
