This course is designed for both beginners and experienced artists looking to enhance their studio practice. Students will explore both oil and acrylic mediums, focusing on a range of technical methods and approaches. In addition to hands-on work, there will be occasional lectures to deepen an understanding of materials and techniques.
Participants are encouraged to choose their thematic focus before the course begins and to bring supporting studies, photographs, and other relevant materials. Pre-primed canvases and panels are required for studio sessions. This course offers a space for artistic growth, experimentation, and refinement of technique.
