    What is so special about oil paint? Why has this relatively simple material captivated the minds of so many artists? During this 6-week course, artist Stefan Plahn, will help you delve into the qualities of oil paint, and explore why this material has such unique potential and how we can make the most of it. Each class will focus on a different quality of oil paint, with painting exercises every week to try out and experiment.

    This course is about your personal creative journey. Whether you are just starting out or have your own practise, this course is designed to explore the facinating properties of oil paint and how to express yourself in different ways through this medium.

    The course is instructed by Stefan Plahn who holds a MA from the Danish Royal Academy of Arts. The course is designed based on the instructors education at some of the finest schools and courses across Europe.
