The first day of the workshop begins with a couple of hours demo. Anna is going to paint one of her motives and demonstrate her unique technique for a broader audience. During “The friendly talk”, you have an opportunity to ask the artist questions. Light snacks will be served.

After a break, participants who bought tickets for the two-day workshop will stay for preparations for the upcoming workshop.

Participants during the two-day workshop will learn how to paint figures in costumes, ballerinas, and animals.
