Art

 

 

   One of  my big hobbies is painting. I have been painting in oil since 1990, and now, when I am retired, I have attend  the Open University of applied sciences in Nykarleby, our neighbour town, for two years. Today Anders and I are studying art in the Nordic Art School in Kokkola. It is a three year long part-time education for adults. On Tuesday evenings we have lectures on modern art and art philosophy by the school´s visiting teachers, on Thursday evenings there is model drawing with live model. And once a month we have courses in different subjects: drawing, tempera painting, acrylic painting, graphic art and so on.
