Master Class Oil Painting
Master Class Oil Painting – Portrait of Rembrandt – with Abdallah Ajaj
Sunday, 26th January 2025 (11:00 – 17:00)
Join this unique oil painting workshop, led by Abdallah Ajaj (finalist of Project Rembrandt)! During this session, we’ll be painting a portrait of young Rembrandt in his signature style.

Abdallah will guide you from step to step, from set up your painting: the background and underdrawing so that you can quickly dive straight into painting on the workshop day. Our goal is for you to go home with a stunning artwork by the end of the day!

We’ll be working with the Zorn palette: This is a limited palette using only four colours: Cadmium Red Light, Yellow Ochre, Ivory Black, and Titanium White.

The renowned Swedish artist Anders Zorn demonstrated that even with a limited pallete, you can create beautiful paintings with the subtle greens and blues, through careful blending.

Why use the Zorn palette?

Participants love working with fewer colours, as it allows for more focus and helps build skills quickly in an intensive workshop setting.

Abdallah’s motto: ‘The fewer the color choices, the more control you have over your painting.’

Maximum 10 participants (first come first serve)

Break: 30 minutes

Price: 150 euro per person (including paint, canvas, easel, lunch (salad), and drinks.)

 

We are looking forward to seeing you there and to create a master painting together.

Spring Drawing Course for Adults
Spring 2025 – 3 Months Drawing Course for Adults: Building Foundations Through Sketching & Drawing
February, March and April 2025 (10:00 – 12:00)

Luna Nguyen Atelier is offering a spring course focused on enhancing drawing skills through sketching, an essential foundation for any artist.

Why Sketching?

With almost a decade of experience, Luna has found that many artists struggle in painting due to weak sketching skills. Sketching is a vital practice that strengthens observation, hand-eye coordination, and the ability to capture form, light, and perspective—core elements for any art form.

  • Confidently capture three-dimensional forms.
  • Build skills in composition, light, and depth.
  • Lay a strong foundation that enhances your painting skills.

    March: 6, 13, 20 & 27

    April: 3, 10 & 17 (24 April is Meivakantie – no class)Every Thursday morning (10:00 – 12:00) except public holidays.
