The poetry of the mark
About
What can we discover by taking a closer look at the way Van Gogh made his marks with paint?
In this workshop we will respond to some of the textures and patterns that he created with a brush and paint. At the same time, we will consider some of Van Gogh’s influences, such as Japanese prints, as we delve into surface texture, line, and shape.
