Summer Academy at the Schafhof: Painting and Drawing in Dialogue with Nature and Light
The Summer Academy for Painting and Drawing brings the Schafhof in Freising into a state of concentrated artistic attention. In the historic atmosphere of the European Art Forum, drawing, painting, and the immediate experience of the landscape come together. Those who participate here not only experience a course but an intense artistic experience between observation, creation, and aesthetic experience.
Color, Light, and Landscape as Artistic Challenges
The Summer Academy 2026 is dedicated to painting in front of nature. Open-air artwork examines color, light value, spatiality, representation, and abstraction. The location itself becomes an impulse generator: trees, garden, architecture, and sky intertwine to create a lively exhibition atmosphere for the creative process.
Two Courses, Two Handwriting Styles, One Open Perspective
The program guides participants with Cornelia Eichacker and Sabine Berr through different approaches to artistic practice. Cornelia Eichacker focuses on color, light, and landscape painting. Sabine Berr opens a space for personal expressions, experimental processes, and direct engagement with material, line, and composition through her workshop for painting and drawing.
A Learning Place with Art Historical Depth
The Schafhof, as the European Art Forum Upper Bavaria, is a place of contemporary art, residency programs, and cultural education. In this environment, the Summer Academy gains special authority: it connects practice and reflection, craftsmanship and contemporary art, personal experience and art historical orientation. Those who work here encounter the tradition of drawing and painting as well as the open thinking of modern art education.
Atmosphere for Concentrated Work
The days at the Schafhof follow the rhythm of seeing. Between easels, sketchbooks, and color application, attention grows for nuances: shadows, transitions, lines, contrasts. The charm of this Summer Academy lies exactly in this - it sharpens the gaze and strengthens one's own artistic handwriting. The exhibition situation of the house, the surrounding nature, and the quiet location on the outskirts of Freising provide ideal conditions for this.
Conclusion
The Summer Academy for Painting and Drawing at the Schafhof Freising connects artistic practice, cultural education, and sensory perception into a special summer format. Visitors can expect a lively scene of painting, drawing, and natural connection - inspiring, informed, and close to the creation of art. A visit on site is definitely worthwhile, as the creative process itself becomes an event here.
