Who is this course for?
This course is suitable for everyone who would like to learn acrylic painting techniques. No prior experience is necessary. It is designed for beginners and intermediate learners, as well as children aged 12 and up.

We will meet in the graphic workshop 15 minutes before the session begins. We believe that bringing together participants of different skill levels can be enriching and inspiring. The course has a limited number of participants, allowing the instructor to provide individual attention to each student based on their needs and preferences.

We value a pleasant and friendly atmosphere during our lessons, so you are welcome to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea while painting.
