The Annual Art Course presents a synthesis of educational approaches, contents, methods and practices historically formed in greatest Art Academies and ‘Schools of Painting’. Beyond that, our pedagogue has an exclusive experience and enthralling methods of teaching.

The Annual course programme is divided into three years of studying that form a single body: Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced, offering additional exclusive ‘plein air’ modules for each year. The programme involves a phased professional training, including consistent mastering of visual literacy from simple to complex. The study process is based on still life, portrait, figure, nude, and landscape studying, consisting of practical work from nature, aiming to cultivate participants’ artistic vision within fundamental fine art disciplines - Drawing, Painting and Composition.

Following the ANNUAL course will provide participants with a solid, deep foundation in visual literacy and understanding of artistic phenomena. Having completed such a course and engaged in artistic practice of such intensity, the participant will be transformed, regardless of their previous activities. Exposure to genuine artistic activity allows individuals to express themselves uniquely. By completing this course, you will not only gain professional tools for visual literacy, but also a different 'worldview,' an understanding of how to speak 'in your own voice,' and how to become your own creator. We welcome experienced individuals as well as beginners, adults aiming to professionalize, and high school students looking to build a career in the visual industry ahead.
