About the Course

Is it possible to combine traditional painting and digital graphics? The answer is yes! Traditional painting techniques can be used very successfully if you have a stylus instead of a brush and a computer monitor instead of a canvas. On the course, you will pay special attention to the study of composition, chiaroscuro, tone, colour in CG and gradually move from drawing simple objects to more complex genres — landscape and, if you have time, portrait from life.
