Painting & Drawing

TOP >  Programs >  Painting & Drawing

In our Painting & Drawing Summer Course, students can choose among the following techniques:

  • Basic Drawing
  • Advanced Drawing
  • Oil Painting
  • Watercolor
  • Tempera Painting
  • Acrylic Painting
The course explores the fundamental principles and elements of Italian painting, focusing on the perception and build-up of form, tone, and color on a two-dimensional surface. Emphasis is placed on color mixing, brushwork, glazing, and scumbling, as well as traditional canvas preparation. We offer hands-on, practical learning experiences in small groups, guided by enthusiastic and experienced instructors.
Instructors: Our instructors are active modern artists with strong backgrounds in traditional Italian painting. They possess extensive knowledge not only of basic techniques but also of fresco and other classical methods. Their artistic talent and engaging teaching style bring out the vibrant spirit of Italian art. We believe these classes will inspire both aspiring and professional artists alike.
