Pictorial techniques

Level 1 - Introduction to pictorial techniques

Level 2 - Introduction to integrated techniques

Level 3 - In-depth study and development of these techniques

Our impression and perception of any pictorial artwork changes substantially
depending on the technique used in its execution. There is a difference
between painting on a canvas and painting on a wall, as well as using oil or
watercolor, pastels, ink, etc. Everything can change depending on the pictorial
material being used, contour lines, surfaces, colors, the overall perception, and
even the feeling that the artwork generates.

In this course, we will be introduced to the most well-known and emblematic
pictorial techniques, and we will acquire a solid knowledge of each technique’s
potential. Then, we will approach the integrated techniques, experimenting
and researching using the technical resources we have learned in class.
