A Renaissance Technique for Contemporary Artists

Atelier Neo Medici invites students and professional painters to the Aquitaine region of France for a two-month intensive painting workshop. The "Technique Mixte" Painting Workshop teaches an approach to painting known as the technique mixte, which has its antecedents with the early Northern masters. This technique employs a tempera underpainting over which oil colors are glazed, enabling the artist to achieve a profoundly intricate level of detail and greater luminosity of color than oil paint alone can produce. Students are encouraged to work between classes and have permanent access to the atelier 24/7. All materials are provided. However, students wanting to advance more rapidly should come with at least one finished drawing in pencil of compressed charcoal (Cretacolor), on a gessoed canvas or panel, though additional paintings will be started during the two months. Brushes will be provided, but students can bring their own as well.

December 19, 2025by: Sophie Roth - United StatesProgram: APA Paris Semester Immersion Program
9

APA Paris is a wonderful program. I felt supported and challenged in all the right ways. From start to finish, I was surrounded by some of the kindest and most patient program coordinators who helped me seamlessly navigate life in a foreign country. The academics offered by the program are engaging and well-tailored to multiple levels in French, and the cultural events and excursions were some of my fondest memories here in Paris. The group of students the program attracted were some of the loveliest people to have spent a semester in Paris with, and the program did an excellent job facilitating a welcoming environment for us to bond. While I felt fully independent and immersed in French culture, the APA office was always there, offering support and a strong community. I could not have asked for a better study abroad experience. Merci APA!
