Within the scope of the exhibition “Biography of the Trace.

Taught by Nelson Ferreira, painter, draftsman and Drawing teacher, with extensive tutorial experience in national museums in Portugal and England, the course is aimed at the general public, from 25 to 28 February (inclusive), with a duration of 3 hours and a half a day, between 2 pm and 5:30 pm.

As the trainer says, the “Bargue course was the most acclaimed method in the 19th century to train the great geniuses of drawing, with a real ability to draw (by eye, without taking any measures except the height and the total width). This rigorous training is similar to the studies that academic artists like Soares dos Reis, José Malhoa or John Singer Sargent did (as well as modernists who knew how to draw, like Picasso). ”
