Worum es geht

This five-day intensive is dedicated to one of the most enduring disciplines in art: painting the nude from a live model. Working in oils with a strictly limited palette, the course focuses entirely on the essentials of academic figure painting — translating the complexity of human anatomy into clear relationships of light, shadow, and color. The structure is methodical and cumulative: each day builds on the last, from the first structural block-in to the final rendering of form and detail. By the end, you won't just have painted a figure — you'll have learned to see one.
