Oil painting had been used since the 12th century, but it was the Flemings who perfected this technique in the 15th century. Since then, it has remained the preferred technique for creating paintings that are true to life. This way of painting through glazes, which usually go from the darkest to the lightest colours, permits to create truly amazing images, sometimes difficult to distinguish from a photograph.
This technique is particularly suitable for beginners as the oil paint dries very slowly, allowing continuous touch-ups in case of second thoughts or mistakes.
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.
