Worum es geht

Learning to break a rule well requires understanding it first. Over seven weeks, this course moves through two distinct approaches to oil figure painting: a rigorous engagement with the academic tradition, followed by a structured exploration of how that foundation can be stretched, subverted, and made personal. The first three sessions are devoted to a single painting, built slowly in layers, from first marks to finished surface. From session four on, the pace changes: one new painting per session, each guided by a different theme. A live model is present throughout, and every participant receives individual feedback across all seven sessions.
