Learn how Vincent van Gogh composed and executed his paintings as you discover how Van Gogh made paint come alive and dance across the canvas. Working in either acrylic or oil paints on canvas and from landscapes, still-life arrangements and photos, you will create exciting paintings that are full of the same energy and vitality that Van Gogh’s painting express. Using both palette knives and brushes to achieve impasto strokes, you learn how to make the vigorous strokes and bright color show the life force of even inanimate objects.

Kell, Genie BFA, MA

Genie’s Master of Arts degree from New York University and Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from John Herron Art Institute are complemented by undergraduate study at Yale and Columbia Universities and training at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Genie has lived and exhibited her art in Athens, Greece, and on the Aegean islands of Mykonos and Santorini, and, in Venice, Italy, while completing her master’s degree there.

In addition to classes and workshops in watercolor, mixed-media, composition, oil and acrylic painting, art appreciation and art history offered throughout the U.S., since 1998, Genie has offered immersion workshops in France, Italy, Greece, and Belize through her ART ADVENTURE WORKSHOPS. Genie’s upcoming workshop, Venice: The Veneto & the 2024 Biennale, is scheduled for that autumn and will include Venice in addition to excursions to Ravenna, Padua, Palladian palazzi and other historic sites along Italy’s east coast as well as in-depth study of the international, contemporary art featured in Venice’s renown biennial exhibition.

In all her classes and workshops, while Genie is introducing new ways of thinking about art, encouraging the use of new techniques, and serving as a conduit for art methods and information, her focus is on encouraging each artist to pursue and embrace the elements that ensure success as an artist.
