Learn to create rich and dynamic paintings in the style of our beloved Vincent Van Gogh! In his journals, he describes beginning his paintings in the field and continuing them in his studio, following what he felt with his quintessential chunky brush strokes. In this two part workshop we will break down the technical skills he employed to achieve his celebrated painting style, as well as design and color decisions that may help us paint landscapes like Van Gogh, while also making sure the paintings are unique to us. Students will leave this workshop with two paintings that represent and celebrate Van Gogh's famous painting style, as well as with an increased understanding and appreciation for Vincent Van Gogh and his paintings.

Alexandra Schnabel is a painter and art instructor who lives and works in Bucks County PA. Alexandra discovered her passion for painting at the Lehigh Valley Charter School for the Arts, and went on to earn her BFA from Pennsylvania Academy of The Fine Arts. She now enjoys creating artwork that explores the wonder of the visual world, while nurturing her passion for teaching through a variety of classes and workshops. In her studio, she explores diverse subject matter through a balance of skilled and intuitive approach, with themes that ponder the self and relationship with how we engage with the world around us. Her paintings have been shown at venues such as Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, The Allentown Art Museum, The Kimmel Center, and Phillips Mill Community Association founded by Daniel Garber. She teaches a variety of community based classes locally as well as private lessons and creativity mentorship programs out of her home studio.
