Questions and answers

With the basic techniques learned in a painting course, you can create a picture step by step. The picture takes shape through composition, choice of motif, colors, surfaces and structures. By consciously using techniques and stylistic devices, the picture idea can finally be creatively implemented and finalized.

There are painting courses in Switzerland on individual techniques (acrylic, watercolor, oil paint, chalk, drawing, etc.), geared to previous knowledge (for beginners, advanced, children) and even painting vacations or online painting courses. The length of the courses also varies - from a few days to semester courses. Painting courses in Switzerland are offered by artists, drawing teachers, art schools, painting schools, cultural associations, studios, publishers, public schools or adult education schools. In principle, however, any person can offer painting courses in Switzerland if they have the relevant expertise in painting and drawing. Many course instructors have an SVEB certificate in adult education, which confirms their skills for learning events with adults. This gives the customer the assurance that the proof of practice has been checked and that the basic knowledge in adult education has been imparted to this person. Compare the course content, the scope of the course, the costs, the instructors and the number of painting courses held in Switzerland well in advance. Information events or reviews from former course participants can also provide information about a good choice.

The difference between painting and drawing is as follows: a drawing is generally an image made up of gray values. Painting, on the other hand, creates an image from surfaces. The painting tools used in a painting course are brushes of varying width that create surface-like lines or structures. A painted picture is usually in color.

In a painting course for beginners, the central, creative basics in particular are taught and the introduction to one or more painting techniques (possibly also drawing techniques) is accompanied. Painting courses for beginners are aimed at people with no previous knowledge or those who would like to refresh their existing basic knowledge. Fears are also reduced in beginners' courses. Beginners should have no qualms about experimenting. In a painting course for beginners, the first steps in painting are demonstrated and the step-by-step procedure is explained. Theoretical basics are taught using examples from art and design. Through various exercises in the practical part of the course, the instructor can recognize the individual way of expression. Techniques such as glazing and opaque paint application and color gradients can be tried out. The design process and the result are also analyzed in the painting course for beginners and the best possible approach can be identified. The examination of one's own perception and work opens up new perspectives for the participants.

In an acrylic painting course, the techniques of acrylic painting are usually covered in a theoretical section. The basics of painting, such as picture composition and composition, are usually also taught in the course. However, an important part of every painting course is also the practical work, in which the techniques are demonstrated and applied step by step. Course participants experiment with acrylic paints, brushes, palette knives and other tools. In an acrylic painting course, participants are usually individually supported and guided by the course instructor in the realization of their ideas. In the acrylic painting course, the needs of the individual course participants can be addressed. It therefore plays a less important role whether a participant already has painting experience or experience in acrylic painting or is a beginner. The aim is to develop or expand painting skills and gain confidence with new techniques. The focus of these courses is on having fun with acrylic painting.

The advantages of an online painting course are obvious: learning regardless of time and place. Participants decide for themselves when and for how long they want to learn. They can also decide where they want to learn best. In the great outdoors, in their own studio or even abroad. If you attend painting courses online, you can therefore count on a high degree of flexibility and self-determination. Painting in particular expresses feelings through colors and shapes. The corresponding feelings usually do not adhere to predetermined schedules and time slots. The materials are usually made available online and participants can interact with the course instructors and usually also with other course participants. This ensures the exchange of ideas in a group during an online painting course. Knowledge is often imparted in video lessons or tutorials. In some cases, this is supplemented with live video exchanges or other opportunities for exchange. Take advantage of the unbeatable benefits of online painting courses.

Interested parties can often find a suitable painting course nearby via the internet directly or via educational platforms. Alternatives would be art schools, cultural associations, studios or public schools nearby. Check whether they offer painting courses. Larger adult education providers could also offer courses in this area. Do you know other people who enjoy painting as a hobby? Ask them about their experiences with painting courses in the area. Word-of-mouth recommendations from friends are often more credible and provide good guidance if you know the person behind the course well.

The scope of the course can range from a short taster course to a more extensive course.
