During these weeks you will explore colours and textures, line quality and shadows, composition and perspective and discuss techniques utilised by master painters of the past and present. Together, with your fellow classmates you will paint using different materials including acrylic, watercolour, ink, paper and canvas, as well as learn how to apply a variety of experimental media. You will also learn how to loosen up your brushstrokes and use your mistakes as a powerful tool for your art. 

You will be assisted in your self-sustained exploration of painting by Franco and become part of a thriving international student community working from our spacious studios in the centre of Prague.

At the end of the course you will complete and refine a series of paintings, united by common technique or topic.
