PAINTING
Our painting course in Florence , for instance, also integrates drawing techniques and introduces the use of color, starting with color theory.
Students will learn water techniques like gouache, acrylic, oil-based techniques, as well as the traditional and contemporary ways of preparing the canvas.

Florence was home to the great Renaissance artists such as Cennino Cennini, Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo, and Michelangelo, who, as a result, have left an important legacy with their masterpieces. Studying the classic techniques of the masters in Florence is the perfect opportunity to be immersed in the processes these artists used to develop and create their masterpieces.
At the same time, when we speak of contemporary art, we refer to the art that was born after the beginning of the 20th century. Learning contemporary painting in a city like Florence allows the student to fully explore contemporary ideas and materials with the background in traditional techniques.

CLASSIC TECHNIQUES
The painting course of AD’A prepares the student for every skill they need to paint just as the masters of the Renaissance. We start with the ancient recipes from Cennino Cennini for the glue, “cola de conejo” and gesso for preparing the canvas.
Students will learn how to prepare their own natural pigments with egg tempera, will use the “spolvero” technique to transfer the drawing to the canvas, and will learn the master process of applying the egg tempera paint. When finished students will learn gilding by applying gold leaf.
CONTEMPORARY
Contemporary art practices are important to teach the student how to develop their own unique style and how to express conceptual ideas.
AD’A offers a contemporary painting course that guides the student through experimental projects by using a variety of different materials such as wood, canvas, plastic, sand, marble dust, fabrics, and the use of both oil and acrylic paints.
This course is designed to allow the student to create a personal language (concept) for creating, and by becoming familiar with a wide range of tools the student will learn many different ways to express line, shape, color and ideas.
