THE PAINTING CLASS
TEACHER: GEIR YTTERVIK

Geir Yttervik works in a figurative style, both in oil and watercolor.
His paintings are narrative without telling the whole story, inspired by art history as well as the world around us.
He has exhibited widely in Norway and internationally, and his work is included in numerous private and public collections.
Yttervik has taught at Einar Granum Art School for over 20 years and is known for his inspiring and supportive teaching style.
About the program
In beautiful surroundings, we explore how to capture atmosphere,
light, and shadow — and transform what we see into paintings with a personal expression.
The workshop focuses on simple and practical principles for building a strong composition,
giving you confidence to explore your own style.
Through daily exercises, we work with light and shadow, color awareness, mixing techniques, and color harmony.
One day will be spent painting in a charming medieval village, working from sketch to finished piece.
The course is adapted to each participant’s level, with individual guidance throughout.
Each day ends with a group review of the day’s work.
5 hours of painting classes daily. All instruction is in acrylics.
EXCURSIONS
One of the days is set for excursion for those who want to explore this beautiful region.
Or maybe just spend a relaxing day on one of the small Mediterranean beaches?
VISIT GRANADA & ALHAMBRA (8 HOURS)
• Join us on an excursion to Granada and Alhambra. Starting off visiting Alhambra, the 13th century old palace and gardens are among the finest Islamic constructions in the world. Set on the footsteps of the Sierra Nevada peaks, it is a true jewel. Next up, we explore the old Arabic architecture and narrow streets of Granada (Albaicín), filled with tapas bars and Spanish/Moorish culture. Finishing off with a delicious lunch overlooking the beautiful views of Alhambra and the old city of Granada, it will leave you wanting to come back again and again.
• Price: 210€ per person, 10 hours, minimum 4 people.
HIKING TO ACEBUCHAL, THE HIDDEN VILLAGE IN THE MOUNTAINS
• This is a guided hiking tour in the Alhama Natural Park, walking in spectacular landscape with breathtaking views along the way. Our end destination is a small, white village which is hidden in a valley on the other side of the mountain range. Here we enjoy a local meal made by the owners of the village. It is also a great chance to learn about the rich history of this secret village, especially during the Spanish Civil War. • Price: 105 € per person, 4-5 hours duration, minimum 4 people.
The excursions are not included in the price and are paid separately upon registration.
