Please note: This course only works with oil paint.
What is it that makes oil paint such a distinctive medium? In this six-week course, we explore the different qualities and possibilities of oil painting – from working with light and shadow, colour and composition to ways of describing form and space.
Through a series of practical exercises, we gradually develop an understanding of the fundamental techniques of oil painting. Throughout the course, we work with composition and still life, exploring how the different elements – light, shadow, form and colour – can work together within a painting. Each week includes practical painting exercises where techniques can be tested, explored and developed through hands-on work.
The course is aimed at adults…

The course is aimed at adults and is suitable for both beginners and more experienced painters. The focus is on each participant’s individual development and on building an understanding of the possibilities of oil painting, allowing you to continue developing your own ideas and personal approach to painting.
The course is taught by artist Stefan Plahn, who holds an MA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. The course is based on the instructors’ education and experience from art schools and courses across Europe.
