Einführung in die Acryl- und Ölmalerei

Suitable for all skill levels. Held at our studio in Frankfurt. Materials included!

Led by contemporary visual artist Alexander Tadlock, this painting boot camp offers a comprehensive introduction to acrylic and oil painting. We’ll familiarize you with basic materials and techniques and work with you to develop a confident approach to light, color, and texture. At the intersection of contemporary and classical approaches, you’ll learn to switch fluidly between rapid layering of color in acrylic and nuanced application of color in oil—ultimately combining both media to create your own expressive style. The bootcamp offers a solid and inspiring introduction to the world of painting in a professional studio atmosphere right in Frankfurt’s Bockenheim district.

The workshop will be held in German

April 24–25 (Sat–Sun) 11:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.

7 hours per day (including a 1-hour lunch break)—6 effective hours of instruction daily, for a total of 12 hours.
 

What to Expect
