Program of Plein Air Painting - Summer Painting Workshop: 

The Detailed program will be sent to all registered participants

After welcoming and meeting with teachers we will talk about painting and drawing in the landscape, we will talk about the importance of choosing the object, we will go around and try to find a sketch or photo themes. In the evening we will talk about the technology of painting, drawing, and sketching. The next day there will be a topic of drawing techniques, perspective, and shading. Then we will jump on watercolor (color theory, painting materials, and techniques, demonstrations) and we will spend a pleasant evening with a lecture about landscape painting. The next day we will "work hard" on painting in plein air. In conclusion, final consultation and exhibition are waiting for us.

During the program, our teacher will be happy to give you advise or discuss your work and answer your questions. An individual treatment program is possible and we will always honor your own rhythm and time for painting. The aim is to enjoy a pleasant time of painting, discard worries and focus on your interests and hobbies with a group of similar people for whom painting is also a passion.

The program will be complemented by a "theoretical" lectures of painting, drawing, and art technologies.

Participation in all programs is voluntary, the whole plein air you will do only what you would like at the moment :-)
