Burnt Sienna art school - learn how to draw or paint with oils in our Neukölln studio, Berlin
what we do…
The main aim of the school is to provide excellent training in the techniques of painting and drawing for beginners. Our goal is to enable individuals to pursue an artistic hobby or practice or continue professionally in their chosen field. Our most important goal is that each individual student can continue painting or drawing after completing one of our foundation courses.”

‘Yesterday, we did a drawing exercise where we added black mass to the paper and then brought out the light. It’s truly unbelievable that I’m able to do all these things with Emma’s guidance. I’m enjoying every session, and each week brings something new and exciting. I can already see myself becoming more confident in my drawing and learning to simplify what I see. Emma is the first person I’ve encountered who encourages students to develop their own unique character in drawing and painting, while still introducing new techniques. I feel like I’ve moved far away from the problematic, idealised view I once had of painting and drawing, and I’m truly enjoying every step of the process.’
