Oil Painting
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 making paintings as close to the real as possible. In fact, this way of painting through glazes that usually go from the darkest to the lightest colors permits to create truly amazing images that are 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.
This course is available in three types:
-Basic (6 hours per week)
-Semi-intensive (10 hours per week)
-Intensive (20 hours per week)
The minimum enrolment is 2 weeks.
All our teachers speak Italian and English.

The course is suitable for both beginners and advanced level students.
No previous experience with drawing is necessary as it is possible to transfer a design onto the canvas using the dusting technique.
