Slow down and indulge your love for nature and Vincent van Gogh's art with this step-by-step ink and pencil drawing class!

This is not a class on how to draw a pretty picture- this is a class about how to draw images that are imbued with meaning for you. In this class, you will learn how to draw the awe-inspiring beauty of the natural world and analyse what you see by asking yourself- What attracts you to a scene? What makes you want to draw it?

To help you think through these questions, I will introduce you to the life, art, and art practice of Vincent van Gogh. The big lesson here is not how to best replicate Vincent's works but how to "think" like Vincent by learning to draw like him. And for this reason, this class is for anybody wanting to start their art practice or bring a new perspective to their art.

In this class, you will learn about:

Vincent van Gogh's art journey
Drawing basics
Mark-making techniques
How to see like an artist
Focusing and choosing a subject to best express yourself
Observing themes in nature

By learning how to draw like Vincent, you will be able to create powerful original works of art. If nothing else, the life and art of Vincent van Gogh are evident of the fact that you can start your art journey whenever you want and that you don't need the best materials or resources to make worthy art. In this spirit, the essential materials you require are an ink pen/brush and some paper for this class.

Let's get started!
