ESTEBAN MARTORELL –
I wanted to deepen my knowledge of oil painting (from the 16th to the 18th century) by this new internship led by Stéphane Brunner. I was satisfied, in particular with the discovery of recipes such as the manufacture of black oil, casein glue, gesso and the application of marouflage techniques. We have seen the basics and essentials of oil painting (drawing, drawing, reprinting).
Technical and scientific knowledge for grinding pigments is really a plus. This was the first stage led by Stéphane and I congratulate him... An internship that will evolve and subsequently enrich; I'm convinced!!!!
Thank you for everything.

What a light in our paintings! It is the result of all this learning of the ancient oil painting taught by Stéphane Brunner in this wonderful place of the ochres with an exceptional organization.

Stéphane is an excellent teacher. Thanks to his communication skills and his mastery of pigments and oil techniques from the 15th century, this internship proved rich, in technical and practical learning, all in a friendly atmosphere.
