“Paint Like” Hokusai, The Great Wave of Kanagawa

About the Workshop

Join DukeCreate and Duke University Union (DUU) committee member, VisArts, at our fourth “Paint Like” offering of the Spring semester!

Hokusai was a famous Japanese artist who created multiple prints, carvings, and paintings of the sea. The Great Wave off Kanagawa (c. 1829-1833), also known as The Great Wave or simply The Wave, is a woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai, and was published sometime between 1829 and 1833. In this workshop we will create a beautiful rendering of The Great Wave of Kanagawa using paint and canvas.
