What You’ll Learn & Create

• A short and fascinating story about Johannes Vermeer and his art
  Learn how this 17th-century Dutch master became famous for his quiet, intimate scenes of everyday life. Discover why only about 35 of his paintings are known today, and how his extraordinary use of natural light, soft color transitions, and calm composition continues to influence artists around the world.
• Explore Color & Composition — Step by Step
  Understand how Vermeer used a limited color palette, subtle contrasts, and carefully balanced compositions—often with light coming from a single window—to create depth, harmony, and mood.
• Create Your Own Vermeer-Inspired Artwork
  Focus on atmosphere, light, and storytelling rather than perfection, and gain skills you can continue using at home.

No experience needed. Come as you are—curiosity is all you need.
