Mary's Art Academy book classes

Through my dual training in painting and as a designer, I would like to provide my pupils and prospective students with a wide range of different techniques and styles of representational and abstract painting in order to form a solid basis for their future creative career. Regardless of whether it's art or design — for me, both areas are a craft that can be learned by anyone.

Technical precision and the ability to represent our environment not only abstractly but realistically are an important basis for being able to work conceptually and freely.

I would therefore like to arouse the curiosity of my youngest students right from the start to take a closer look at their world and teach them techniques to depict what they have seen:

What color is snow? Are clouds white? Why are there no contours and how do I mix colors?

These are all questions that we will gradually address during the course.
