Painting usually starts from a drawing, which is why we offer a course that combines both disciplines, suitable for both beginners and more advanced students. During the Painting and Drawing course, students will try their hand at copying paintings or images of their choice, and will also have the opportunity to create original works. Students will also have the chance to learn how to draw a live model using graphite, charcoal and sanguine and to broaden their understanding of volumes in space, shapes and proportions. Students that already have a good understanding of these drawing and painting techniques will be able to make their own customized program together the teacher.
Courses can be started every week and classes are held
in the afternoon. The Intensive course is held Monday to Friday from 3pm to 7pm, while the
schedule for the Basic and Semi-intensive courses varies for every student and
will be communicated on the week before the starting of the course.
