Modern tecniques: colour approach.

After using the colour with the classical styles, the student is driven through the '800 and the modern use of colours.

Impressionism colour theories are worked out by copying some masterpieces. Then we will teach other tecniques such as the use of flat colours, knife painting, material works that allow to expand the creativity of the painter.
