In this 6-week course, we will uncover the secrets behind Joannes Vermeer’s (1632–1675) painting methods and materials, tools and techniques by copying and reproducing a selection of his paintings.

In his lifetime, Vermeer’s fame barely extended beyond his native town of Delft in the Netherlands; today, he is a household name and his work – especially Girl with a Pearl Earring (or the “Dutch Mona Lisa”) – is universally recognisable.

Until recently not a lot was known about Vermeer’s life and there is still much debate about his painting techniques and the almost photorealistic attention to detail that he achieved. Few studio manuals explaining the practical methods and techniques of Dutch 17th-century painters exist. Most of our knowledge about painting methods from this period is gleaned from a mixture of contemporary painting techniques and scientific analyses of paintings.

Each class will include demonstrations – guiding you in detail through the painting process, and discussion about oil painting method and techniques.
