Ancient painting courses

Discover or improve, in a quiet and inspiring setting

The Van Eyck workshop offers intensive internships during and outside school holidays, in a study and caring atmosphere.

These courses allow you to explore in depth a particular technique, through the copying of a painting chosen upstream or leaving your imagination open.

They are intended for both passionate beginners and artists wishing to deepen a rigorous classical approach.
