Painting Courses

 

The painting course aims to teach technique in order to encourage individual expression and to explore the usage of various materials in an open-ended way. No drawing skills or previous oil painting experience is required. You will gain practical technical knowledge and hands on experience in a fun and friendly environment. We are rather flexible and shape as much as possible the program for the needs, interests and skills of students.

Main topics are as follow: basic drawing techniques, setting and sketching, observation skills, creative perception strategies. Interpreting images through drawing: light, volume and chiaroscuro.
Introduction to various techniques: study of watercolours, tempera-gouache, acrylics, pastels, oil and mixed media.

 

Levels: Beginner, intermediate and advanced.
