About this template
Here is a timeless way to close a course with something worth keeping: the Chocolate Ribbon Oil Painting Course Certificate, a template that suits art schools, studios and painting classes. Look closely and you will notice a ribbon and a fine border, set off by Inknut Antiqua lettering in chocolate.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.

[Name] has met all the requirements of the Oil Painting Course and is presented with this certificate of completion.
How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date, studio weeks and final canvas and the signatures. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. The design comes with three colour schemes (Gilt & Cadmium, Walnut & Ultramarine and Ebony & Ochre), and every single colour can be changed. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Inknut Antiqua and Work Sans. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
A cream, linen-textured paper of around 120 lb text (180 gsm) suits this classic layout. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. Standard A4 and Letter frames fit it without trimming.
