Overview of the Training
(This overview shows the standard programme without
additional activities and courses which vary from year to year.)
Curriculum - Placement - Diploma
The training aims to lead students into a particular way of painting
which can open the door for independent research and provide a solid basis
for all further artistic work.
Watercolour is our preferred medium and is used throughout
in our training. Its fluid and transparent qualities help students to feel
how colour can be a creative force in itself, and give ultimate expression
to shape and form.
