Wine'd Down Workshop: Van Gogh's Flowers Painting

Wine'd Down Workshop: Van Gogh's Flowers Painting

Celebrate the bloom of spring with love for flowers inspired by the passionate and iconic Vincent Van Gogh! In this class, students will learn about how and why Van Gogh’s charismatic paintings took on the distinct style we now know Vincent for. Using thick, impasto swirling marks, students will leave this workshop with a painting that closely resembles the style of any of Vincent Van Gogh’s many iconic bouquet paintings. This workshop includes a drink voucher redemable at the Palette and Pour Bar (located on the 1st floor of the ArtsQuest Center) for either one glass of house wine, one draft beer, or one soft drink.

Alexandra Schnabel

Alexandra Schnabel is a painter and art instructor based in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Rooted in a deep reverence for nature and the act of seeing, her work explores the intersection of external landscapes and internal perception. For Alexandra, painting is as much about process as it is about outcome—each piece a meditative investigation into how we experience and translate the visual world.

Drawing from a wide range of subject matter, she invites open-ended interpretation, valuing the diversity of emotional and perceptual responses her work may evoke. Her paintings have been exhibited at venues including Phillips Mill, The Allentown Art Museum, The Kimmel Center, and Lehigh University. She has been published, most recently including a featured artist segment in Bucks County Magazine.

In addition to her studio practice, Alexandra teaches both group and private lessons from her home studio and through ArtsQuest in Bethlehem. She is passionate about nurturing creative practice in others, and sees teaching as an extension of her own exploration—an opportunity to share the transformative potential of making and perceiving art.
