Intensive Courses in Mixed Media Painting 2026
Turku archipelago, from spring to late autumn, an enjoyable hobby, like-minded company, guidance in your work and new ideas, time to realize them, and no need to cook your own meals. What wonderful reasons to head to Houtskär!
In mixed media painting, several different techniques are combined in the same artwork. At the start of each course, we briefly review, if needed, the water-soluble basic materials used during the course to understand the nature of fast and slow painting methods.
We apply them in various experiments, with the aim of not only broadening the understanding of the art form but also bringing it out in your own expression through a dialogue of observations, intuition, and personal creation. The course includes guidance for individual, independent work according to your own preferences.
