What you will learn on the course:
- Painting. The focus is on method: how to organise your process from start to finish. You will learn the stages of execution and practise each step through carefully chosen references, selected from outstanding academic works and master paintings. Pictorial problems are solved through close observation and the search for convincing colour harmony.
- Drawing. We aim to master the stages of drawing, to learn how to set clear tasks at each stage, and to be able to analyze complex forms by reducing them to simple structures without losing sight of drawing aesthetics, which is also an important part of the course.
- Anatomy. Analysis, reference books and anatomical sketches are the foundation of this program. But! At the same time, the course uses an unconventional approach: instead of dry memorisation, we study the body as a plastic form, its peculiar structure, rhythm, and shape, through a relaxed, practical way of learning that helps the knowledge stay with you.
What to expect:
- International teaching staff with both classical academic training and contemporary artistic backgrounds
- Live online classes that encourage an open, lively dialogue. Recordings are saved and available for review
- Individual and group sessions, where students discuss their work, ideas and receive constructive feedback
- Critical reviews and presentations
- Recommended resources: books and websites, so you can choose what best supports your development
- Independent study and homework to build skills between lessons

- Building a portfolio of high-quality work
