Bouquets after the Dutch Masters

Flowers on a dark ground, the way they were painted for three hundred years. Rich, slow and satisfying.

How it went

A quieter evening than usual — people concentrated hard. Two participants had come alone and left having arranged to come back together to the next one, which is more or less the point.

What people said afterwards

  • I genuinely thought I would be the worst one there. Nobody is the worst one there. I took home something I have actually hung up.

The next canvas could be yours

Pick a date, reserve a place, and spend an evening making something.

  • Night light and deep blues

    Nocturnes in Ultramarine

    An evening built around night pictures — lamplight, wet streets, windows from the outside. Deep blues, warm points of light, and no need to draw anything realistically.

    Still Life, Soft Light
