This course is designed for both complete beginners and experienced artists. Throughout the sessions, we will explore the creative potential of diptychs. We will study several techniques, including how to create compositions across two panels using contrast, connecting lines, and reflection to produce abstract yet engaging series.
You will learn to combine abstract and figurative elements, break free from the traditional rectangular canvas format, and stimulate your compositional and narrative thinking. By the end of the course, you’ll gain confidence in creating dynamic multi-panel artworks that express your unique vision.

Introduction to Diptychs in Art
We’ll look at works of old masters and contemporary artists. You’ll make quick sketches exploring contrast and counterform, experimenting with how a line started in one panel can be completed in another.

Developing the Abstract Diptych
You’ll refine your favorite sketch and begin painting your first diptych on canvases or paper sheets. We’ll focus on color choices, the tension between shapes or textures.

Figurative Diptych: Still Life with a Twist
We’ll explore figurative diptychs inspired by David Hockney, Francis Bacon, Georges Braque, and Robert Rauschenberg. You’ll create a still life where one panel is figurative and the other abstract — or one in close-up and the other from a distance.

Figurative vs Abstract
We’ll continue developing the diptychs started in the previous session, while those who are beginning fresh will create a striking two-panel composition on paper in just one session — this time exploring formats beyond the usual rectangle: on oval shapes or even imitate Renaissance-style panels, giving you freedom with form and composition.

Live drawing sessions: nude model


Every Sunday, we gather to study the human form through quick nude sketches. Each pose lasts from 2 to 12 minutes, helping to train your eye, refine your technique, and appreciate the beauty of every body. These sketches become not only a valuable artistic exercise but also an incredible resource for future painting projects.

Our models are contemporary dancers, actors, professional models, and plus-size models. Their unique energy, movement, and charisma make each session an inspiring creative experience.

We encourage artistic freedom—use pencils, ink, pastels, pens, watercolor, gouache, or even collage. You can work at a table or an easel, whichever suits your style.
This is more than just drawing—it’s a meditative practice that enhances observation skills, calms the mind, and unlocks your creative potential. Join us!

You can attend a course of four sessions for a discounted price 32000 HUF, or one session is 9000 HUF.
