Learn the Misch-Technique

Daniel specialises in a diverse array of methods, but primarily ‘mixed techniques’ of egg tempera with oil glazes, known as mischtechnik.

The Misch-technique was revived in the 20th century by the primary artist of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism, Ernst Fuchs.

The mischtechnik is widely appreciated within the visionary art movement as a technique which lends itself perfectly to the depiction of inner realms, visions and dreams.

What is so unique about this technique, is its ability to bring forward a wonderful play of light and color in your painting.

It is a great step-by-step inroad into deep, classical, time-tested principles of oil painting.

Daniel studied directly with the masters Ernst Fuchs and Birgid Marlin, both icons in their work with the Misch-tecnique. He will help you start bringing your own visions and inner realms forward with this wonderful technique.

Learn the traditional, time-tested technique to bring forward your vision:

• work with the Misch technique that allows you to bring forward beautiful qualities of light and color in your work.

• Use best practices in skill and material to make beautifull artwork that will endure time.

• Manipulate painting mediums for their unique purposes and learn about pigments.

• Problem solving, making corrections (pentimento) and evolving compositions.
