Multi-day creative courses in Basel & Zurich

You’ll shape pieces like cups, small bowls or vases — and begin to develop your own rhythm and relationship with this meditative, tactile craft.

Rich colours. Timeless techniques. Paintings that only get more beautiful with time.

There’s a reason the world’s greatest masterpieces were painted in oils. Rich colours, incredibly smooth blending, luminous light effects and the freedom to keep refining your work make oil painting one of the most rewarding artistic mediums to learn.

In this four-week course, you’ll discover everything you need to start painting with confidence. Whether you’ve never touched a tube of oil paint before or would like to build a stronger foundation, we’ll guide you through the essential techniques step by step.

Unlike acrylic paint, oils stay workable for much longer, giving you time to blend colours seamlessly, soften transitions and gradually build beautiful layers. Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to mix colours, understand light and shadow, work with brushes, palette knives and painting mediums, and create paintings with depth, atmosphere and personality.

Every class combines live demonstrations with plenty of hands-on painting time, allowing you to immediately apply what you’ve learned while receiving individual guidance from your instructor. Along the way, you’ll also become familiar with the materials, tools and studio practices that artists have used for centuries.
