Summer term is finished and new classes are available for booking!
Yesterday I have finished to teach two lovely weeks of intensive painting at the Crescent Arts Centre.
Below are images of few of the paintings that students worked in acrylic, oil, watercolour and ink. We have been experimenting with gold foil, chalk paint, pouring acrylic, contour relief and various other techniques. We even painted on glass and furnitures! I will now enjoy some rest before the September classes!

Painting Classes March 2019
In the classes during the last couple of weeks we practiced drawing and painting horses and portrait/figure. For these exercises we used a limited palette of 3-4 colours.
After these exercises we had some fun painting few semi-abstract landscapes using a mixed media approach. Below you can see the samples.
