\nMiniature flowers and landscapes
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span>In one colour only or shaded in many different colours, in this class, we paint a landscape that, similar to the traditional Sevr\u00e8s ones, will be finely painted. The miniature landscape can decorate little boxes or snuffboxes, dinner sets as well as other decorative pieces. Framed in a flower garland or at the center of a medaillon, the theme is treated with fine long tipped sable brushes, the colours are mixed in
\na traditional way, with thick oil and turpentine. Miniature class also focuses on a flowers bouquet.<\/p>\n

\nSquare shaders techniques
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span>Square shaders techniques are so called because of the large flat brushes which are used to paint with non drying mediums. It is important to mark soft brush strokes and clean colours layers. In this technique you can paint flowers as well as landscapes and fruits. Teachers of high professionality give square shaders technique lessons at our school, in between them, please note Svanhild \u00d8vrebo<\/strong> with her wonderful winter landscapes and Grethe Solemslokk<\/strong> world-wide reknown, for her delicate salmon roses.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nPortraits and animals
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span>Teresita Sartori<\/strong> is the founder of one of the most important Italian porcelain painting schools. Her works,
\npublished on many specialized magazines and books are winners of many prizes and awards.
\nTeresita Sartori catches with her brush the soul of the painted subjects so the glance of her portraits tells
\nthe hard burden of life while the eyes of her animals catch the heart of the viewer with lights and reflects of an uncontaminated nature.
\nOn a sable background porcelain painting is transparing itself in real “fresco”.
\nThe softness of the base add delicacy to the painting stroke and the shine of the colour gets enbanced
\nby thousand sand grains. So, portrait and animals gain a new wonderful dimension.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nOpen oil techniques
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span>All the freshness of spring flowers caught
\nwith the soft american technique of Sonie Ames.
\nThe sweetness of mystical gazes reproduces on fine porcelain rich renaissance scenarios.
