About this course

Embark on a transformative artistic journey in this comprehensive painting class. From mastering fundamental techniques to advanced skills, delve into anatomy, portraiture, figure, still life, and landscapes. Engage in insightful discussions on art history, learning to craft compelling paintings that resonate with depth and creativity.

In the first stage of the course students are encouraged to begin with fundamental drawing exercises. Each exercise is designed to help the student learn the basic principles and tools to create a compelling drawing. Anatomical and facial features, still life objects and copying from the masters are the main references at this stage. This stage is completed after the successful execution of a portrait drawing.

During the second stage students begin to work in oil colours, transferring the knowledge gained in drawing, they complete a variety of exercises with only two colours (grisaille), before moving to a full colour palette. A still life, a portrait and a figure are completed by the end of the course.

The course can also be adjusted and tailor-made to meet each student's individual and aspirations.
