Welcome to PAKD Art Lab Berlin, a new hub for existing and aspiring artists to come together, learn, teach, practice and hone skills.

Your new art community begins here

Sundays: 11:00 - 14:00

  • €30 per 3 hour session (come as often or as little as you like)

  • €280 for complete package of ten sessions (come for ten lessons in a row)

Oil Painting Class: Introduction to Realist Painting

Join professional character animator & classically trained oil painter Peter Kasim (@kasim.gram) for a fully tutored course in realistic oil painting, in the tradition of classical ateliers.

The course consists of ten weekly sessions which can be taken flexibly and without commitment. Booking the entire ten week package will ensure priority space as there are only a maximum of 5 students per session.

Course is suitable for all levels, from absolute painting beginners, to more confident practitioners who want to learn the academic method first-hand from an experienced tutor.

About the tutor: Peter Najad Kasim

Life Drawing: Short and medium poses

Mondays 19:30 - 22:00

Register by email: peter@pakd-gallery.com

Join professional character animator Peter Kasim (@kasim.gram) for a session of gestural drawing practice. Hone your accuracy, anatomical intuition, and sense of proportion through a series of poses beginning with 2 minutes and ending in 20 minutes.

Quick drawing helps to remove the pressure and inhibition that comes with making long studies: it’s not about perfection, it’s about freeing yourself to make mistakes until weight, form and proportion become second nature.

Open to all levels, simple materials provided but please bring your preferred medium and paper to make the most of the session.

Untutored, with optional help and tips from Peter.

Wednesdays 19:30 - 22:00

  • €15 drop-in, or €13 with registration via Meetup.com or email

  • €10 for students (please bring valid student ID)

Open to all levels, simple materials provided but please bring your preferred medium and paper to make the most of the session.

Untutored, with optional help and tips from Peter.

  • Sundays 11:00 - 14:00
