Upcoming Courses
Winter Drawing & Painting Course for Adults: Learn Still Life with Luna
December 2025, January & February 2026
When the days grow colder, it’s the perfect time to turn inward and nurture your creative spark. This winter, Luna Nguyen Atelier welcomes you to a still life drawing and painting course designed to deepen your observational skills and refine your artistic technique.
Whether you’re just starting out or returning to the fundamentals with fresh eyes, this course provides a calm, focused space to explore the timeless practice of still life.
You’ll develop:
* A solid understanding of proportion and perspective
* Greater sensitivity to light, shadow, and tonal values
* Skills to build strong, balanced compositions
* The ability to capture texture, volume, and detail with clarity
Through guided exercises, you’ll strengthen your hand-eye coordination, build confidence in your mark-making, and learn to slow down and truly see the beauty in everyday objects.
Why Should We Stay Warm and Creative?
Because winter asks us to slow down – and that quiet is a beautiful space for creativity. When we stay warm and engaged with our imagination, we stay connected to ourselves and to what inspires us. Making art in winter is like lighting a fire inside: it keeps your spirit moving, your curiosity alive, and your heart open, even on the coldest days.

Learn Dutch Through Poetry Writing & Art with Luna Nguyen

Since moving to the Netherlands, Luna personally experienced the many challenges that come with starting over in a new country — from job hunting, to adjusting to the climate, to understanding the culture, and of course, learning the language.
Among all these challenges, one thing made the biggest difference in her journey: focusing on learning Dutch. It became the bridge that connected her to new opportunities, deeper relationships, and a greater sense of belonging.
With time and dedication, Luna reached Dutch level B2 in just two years — a milestone that empowered her to teach in Dutch, open her atelier, and welcome 100+ students in many of her creative workshops.
Now, Luna is honoured to offer a unique course for adults: Learn Dutch Through Poetry Writing and Art
This workshop series is designed for adults who want to improve their Dutch in a warm, creative, and non-traditional environment. Together, we’ll explore language through writing, art, and personal storytelling. It’s not just about grammar — it’s about expression, connection, and confidence.
Course Details:
* When: Weekly on Friday morning (except public holidays)
* Time: 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM (1,5 hours)
* Start Dates: January – February – March 2026 (Spring Course)
* Where: Luna Nguyen Atelier
* Cost: €28 per person per workshop
* Payment: Full 3-month course paid in advance (€308 total for 11 sessions)
Lesson Dates:
January: 9,16,23,30 (4 lessons)
February: 6,13,20 (27 no class due to Voorjaarsvakantie) (3 lessons)
March: 6,13,20,27 (4 lessons)
Who is this course for?
* Adults (18+) new to the Netherlands or still adjusting
* Anyone learning Dutch (A2 to B1+ level recommended)
* Those who enjoy creative writing, poetry, journaling, or art
* Individuals looking for a meaningful and expressive way to connect with the Dutch language and culture
Whether you’re just starting or have been learning Dutch for a while, this course offers a fresh, creative approach to language learning.
We’ll discover the beauty of the Dutch language — not through textbooks — but through your own words and your own voice.
Feel free to share this with anyone who might benefit from it.
We look forward to welcoming you soon and supporting you on your journey to make this place feel like home — sooner and easier.
