Brisbane Painting Classes
School in Richmond

Renowned French-Canadian Master Painter, Marcel Desbiens, will take you on a great adventure to learn the traditional techniques of oil painting. You will look at the world a little differently and discover colours, forms and depth that you did not even know existed and be able to learn how the masters of old times worked and created. Marcel has an enormous in-depth knowledge for the medium of oil and caringly shares his vast expertise on the subject. Our painting classes are suitable for everyone, from beginner to the quite advanced. The joy of gaining knowledge and a solid grounding in the basics of laws in art and to practice them, is as beautiful as the works created through this knowledge. It is craftsmanship that is the foundation of self-expression, not the lack of it. Conversely, being creative without knowledge is like re-inventing the wheel. Traditional skills are necessary for developing a foundational base from which the artist can work. I believe that they actually enable to fully express visions without being hampered by a lack of education. These days artists that are just starting out are often told that it is the tools themselves that restricts self-expression. Any student no matter their background or their goal have the right to ask for the best arts training available. The goal of learning to paint can be attained by anyone who is willing to pursue it. It is as accessible as learning to write. All Art Classes are designed to give a strong foundation of artistic ability, to prepare for a professional career in art or a lifetime of enjoyment as a skilled amateur. Marcel offers genuine and authentic high level art instruction, for both the fun-loving and the very dedicated art minded. (more).
