Drawing the figure realistically and beautifully from life is complex but wonderful challenge. In this course, students will gain an understanding of proportions, structure and composition. Focus will also be placed on the three-dimensionality of the figure and understanding how the mechanics of the body work in a dynamic and constructive way.
Students will work with short gesture poses and also with a long pose, using pencil, charcoal and chalk. The teacher will adapt the instruction to each student’s level of knowledge.

Comment from student Summer 2019:
"I was very satisfied with the workshop and I really want to go again as soon as possible. I feel like my skill level has improved a lot in just a few days. The staff was friendly and very professional and it was such a treat having a live model for so many hours a day. Our instructor was extremely skilled and made sure that we had a lot of individual instruction. I really had a wonderful time on top of learning so much"
Landscape Painting

Österlen is known for its beautiful scenery and in this five-day workshop
we will paint at some of the most stunning locations. While a pretty
landscape is inspiring it is not what makes a great painting. During the
workshop we will focus on how to compose the landscape around us into a pleasing and compelling image. Focus will be on how to simplify nature and how to create a strong shape design and mood for your paintings. Critiques will be given throughout the day.
Teacher: Karl Wennergren
Comment from Student Summer 2019:
"I have been on a one-week workshop in Landscape painting. Wonderful nature and with a very knowledgeable and generous instructor I have been able to learn more and increase my ability in landscape painting. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to learn a little bit of the knowledge available at The Swedish Academy of Realist Art."

Still life painting is one of the core components of a classical painters’ training. Students will be guided through the different stages of creating a still life painting from setting up the composition and blocking it in, all the way to completion. Students will also get an insight into accuracy in drawing and how to create a real sense of form and depth through correct values and modeling. Color theory and pigments will be discussed as well as mediums. The teacher will give individual and group critiques, as well as hands-on instruction and demonstrations.
Teacher: Sanna Tomac
Comment from student Summer 2019:
"If you want to paint realistic art, The Swedish Academy of Realist Art" is the right place to receive teaching. You will be guided all the way through Sanna Tomac, and get the old techniques in the oil painting "given" so you take home an understanding of this amazing "craft" and this fine art form.
A wonderful learning experience."
