Start with Your Image or Photo

  • Bring along the image you want to create - your friend, your pet, a picture from a magazine. Here’s my pooch, Astrogirl
  • This will become the foundation you begin with
  • You’ll be shown examples of Gauguin’s paintings and his style and techniques will be described
  • You’ll be guided step by step throughout the stages that follow


Create a sketch that begins to transform into your new creation

Create a Sketch That Begins to Transform Into Your New Creation

  • Next you’ll be creating a rough sketch applying some Gauguin magic by outlining the main forms in your composition, testing out colour arrangements and how you want your painting to look.
  • How will the composition change?
  • What will the dominant colours be?


The final masterpiece

The Final Masterpiece

  • This is where it all comes to life.
  • You’ll apply what you’ve been learning about Gauguin and Post-Impressionism on canvas.
  • You’ll be bringing the painting to life with rich colours, bold lines, and decorative surfaces.
  • Then, you can take your painting home!


In this beginner-friendly paint and sip class, you will learn how to create your own masterpiece in the style of Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. Using an image you bring with you of a person or your pet sitting or standing in a room or in front of a landscape, you’ll be asked to reimagine the space as Gauguin may have.
You’ll learn how to create an outline of your subject on the canvas and bring it to life with bold colours and dynamic lines in the style of the artist: how he structures his compositions, how he uses colour and line, and why his art is classified as Post-Impressionist.
In addition, you’ll learn the basics of acrylic paint, how to mix colours, the use of different brush techniques and its drying process—and how it can become an artist’s friend.
By the end of the class, you can take home your very own artwork.

My name is Angela Ndalianis and I’m a Melbourne-based artist who transitioned to art and painting after nearly 30 years as an academic, where I built a career as a professor of screen media and art history. My scholarly focus is on the sensory ways we connect with art, whether a painting by the artist Gauguin, a horror film by John Carpenter, a VR computer game, or a statue by Bernini.
My work is driven by a passion to experiment with the role of colour, line, texture, and the decorative in art. I favour storytelling practices but also experiment with the sensory power of visual spectacle. I’m also drawn to creating a dialogue between paint and other media, including materials such as rhinestones, embroidery, and rich, textured fabrics.
In the past four years, my paintings have been exhibited at Brunswick Street Gallery, Fly Little Bird, Red Gallery, and Linden New Art Gallery. I’ve exhibited my work at many group and themed shows, including more recently at Linden New Art and Gallery Unbound.
In November 2024, I had my first solo exhibition at Red Gallery titled ‘Divine Darkness: A Female Odyssey’. This show stirred up much excitement and resulted in a second solo show, also at Red Gallery, titled ‘Supremacy of the Zombie Bunny’ in October-November 2025. In 2026, I’ve shown many of my paintings at exhibitions at Unbound Gallery, Linden New Art and the ‘Gods & Monsters’ exhibition at the ALTR Gallery in Minneapolis.
