OIL PAINTING COURSE
In person
The painting course aims to foster the artistic growth of each student in a fast and focused way.
The classes are taught step-by-step with great care so that the student can assimilate the technique in the best possible way. The courses cater to intermediate students who have already painted using other techniques, as well as professional painters who want to further refine their art.
Professor Celso Mathias will analyze the applicant's artistic portfolio to
See if it meets the training objectives of the course.
STUDENTS IN ACTION
The Importance of In-Person Attendance in Oil Painting Courses
Participating in an in-person oil painting course is much more than learning techniques and handling brushes—it's experiencing art in its most complete and sensory form. Being in a creative environment, surrounded by other artists and guided by an experienced teacher, allows for an immediate exchange of ideas, personalized corrections, and constant encouragement. Direct contact with materials, textures, real colors under the studio light, and observing the nuances in the works of colleagues enriches learning in a way that no canvas can replace. The in-person experience fosters concentration, a connection with art, and the development of a more solid and inspiring artistic discipline.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
The Importance of Student Testimonials in the Oil Painting Course
Student testimonials are an essential part of my Oil Painting Course journey. More than just accounts, they reflect real experiences, personal achievements, and transformations lived in the studio. Each shared word carries the emotion of someone who discovered new skills, overcame challenges, and connected deeply with art. These testimonials not only inspire new students but also strengthen our mission to offer a welcoming, technical, and human education. Hearing from those who experience the course firsthand allows us to understand the impact that painting can have on each person's life.

Learning Celso's method gave me a freedom to paint my own paintings that I had never learned in any other course.
From understanding how to hold a paintbrush to how to organize a color palette, every part of the process is meticulous. You develop your perception in a way that allows you to discover colors, lights, and shadows where you didn't see them before.
Ricardo Silva
I am one of the students in Celso Mathias' painting course, and in this course I have gained a great deal of knowledge that greatly enhances my work as a tattoo artist. His teaching methods are what made my learning so easy.
So, I highly recommend the course to everyone!
Luiza Fortes
Celso is not only an excellent artist but also a wonderful teacher. With a practical and direct teaching style, he manages to draw out the full potential of each student and bring it out in every course. He works on the confidence and abilities of each student superbly – there's no one better.
Adriano Teodoro
Taking any course with Celso Mathias is an opportunity to access his vast artistic knowledge. A complete artist who masters a wide variety of techniques ranging from traditional to digital. In his classes, he teaches us the same techniques he uses in his fabulous works of art. With a teaching method that encourages and stimulates creation, he enables students to develop their creativity and forge their own artistic journey.
Maressa Dias
During Professor Celso's course, I had the opportunity to discover and become fascinated by oil painting. In just a few classes, he was able to help me develop and refine several techniques that I previously thought were impossible. The classes are not only focused on standard learning, but are also a space where the student can be free in their own creativity. Celso is didactic and guides you to create in practice, not just in theory; a true master of art.
Felipe Mello
“I enrolled in Celso’s course even before I started tattooing, meaning he saw my first steps, both in painting and in building my career. Therefore, it’s impossible to separate the course from my artistic evolution.”
With him, I learned to paint. And, more than that, I learned to see. Many people are afraid to start, thinking it's difficult.
But Celso's methodology teaches with freedom, and that makes all the difference. In fact, learning is the easy part. The real challenge is stopping painting once you start.
I'm one of the longest-serving students, and sometimes it feels like "just another class on Thursday," but looking back, I realize what a privilege it is to learn from a master every week.
If fear arises, let it serve as a warning, but don't let it stop you from starting.
Taking this course will definitely be a transformative experience.”
