Portrait of Autumn
Two-day oil painting marathon Autumn here — is not just a season. It becomes an image, a mood, almost a living character. Behind the heroine's back, warm sunlight still lingers — the last touch of the departing summer. It dissolves into gold, ochre, flashes of red and orange, as if warmth is still trying to hold on. But cool bluish reflections are already appearing on the face. This is the first breath of approaching winter — barely noticeable, yet already changing the whole mood of the portrait. It is precisely on this contrast of warmth and cold that we will build our work: summer is still nearby, autumn has already come into its own, and winter is only beginning to be felt in the air. Over two days, we will go through the entire path from building the composition and the first color masses to working on the face, light, reflections, hair, leaves and final decorative accents. This will be "Portrait of Autumn" — a moment between warmth and cold, summer and winter, light and the approaching chill.

Autumn Finds
Fall has a way of turning the simplest things into little treasures. A rowan branch found on a walk. A few firm porcini mushrooms brought home from the woods. Fallen golden leaves. An old ceramic pitcher that makes scarlet berries glow especially brightly. In the two-day "Autumn Finds" Marathon, we will bring all these elements together in an expressive still life and paint it in oils. At the heart of our painting is — an elegant combination of warm reddish-brown porcini caps, fiery rowan berries, golden leaves, and old, light-colored ceramics. By contrasting warm hues with a deep, cool background, we will evoke the fresh September air and that special autumn light you want to preserve. Over two days, we will work through every stage, from the first broad shapes to expressive details and finishing touches. We will work step by step with clear guidance, so you will not just paint along with us but understand techniques you can use in your future work. "Autumn Finds" — two days of painting, color, and autumn atmosphere. Let's gather our own little piece of fall and preserve it on canvas.

Fairy-Tale Dreams
A two-day oil painting marathon There is a moment when reality dissolves and a dream begins. White sheets turn into clouds, a mysterious forest rises behind the pillow, and somewhere far away the towers of a fairytale city shimmer… On the two-day marathon "Fairytale Dreams" we will paint an atmospheric picture built on a beautiful contrast: the tender, almost glowing image of a sleeping child and the deep, fantastical world of their dreams. The main thing — you do not have to repeat my painting. For the marathon I have prepared more than 20 additional references with different versions of fairytale dreams. You will be able to choose your own story, mood and magical world — and, using the knowledge gained on the marathon, create your own unique painting. In two days you will not simply repeat the work after the teacher, but will get the tools to create a subject of your own — tender, mysterious and a little magical. "Fairytale Dreams" is a painting about the world that exists only until you wake up. And for everyone that world will be their own.

Vermeer's Gaze
What happens if one of the most enigmatic images in the history of painting is carried from the 17th century into the present day?
from €29.90
Eden
A two-day oil painting marathon devoted to creating a bright decorative picture with a white heron in a blossoming garden. A white heron among huge poppies and flowers — practically a garden of Eden. That is where the name came from by itself — "Eden". I very much like the combination of an almost realistic bird and a deliberately decorative garden. I think it will be incredibly interesting to paint. We will create a striking work, saturated with color, in which realistic painting is joined with decorativeness and freedom. 2 days • oil painting • step-by-step work together with me

The Big Game "Facets of Vrubel"
A Great Game in oil painting. We paint a copy of the famous picture by Mikhail Vrubel, "The Swan Princess". This time one of the most enigmatic and beautiful paintings of Russian art awaits us. Over 5 big streams we will step by step create our own copy of "The Swan Princess" and try to unravel the particular artistic language of Mikhail Vrubel. Why "The Facets of Vrubel"? His painting seems to be assembled from a multitude of separate facets — strokes, shades and reflections. Form does not dissolve in smooth transitions but is built up like a crystal. It is this principle that we will try to understand and apply in our own work. 5 streams — from the first drawing and the large color relationships to the final highlights and details. "The Facets of Vrubel" — a Great Game about color, light, texture and one of the most unusual painterly languages of Russian art. The Great Game "The Facets of Vrubel" Mikhail Vrubel.

Tea on the Veranda
An oil painting marathon. Summer, a veranda flooded with sun, a garden beyond the railing and an unhurried tea. On the table — a gleaming metal samovar, a porcelain teapot and cups, and everything around is full of sunlit highlights and colored reflected light. In the new two-day marathon "Tea on the Veranda" we will paint a light summer still life and work through one of the most beautiful and at the same time trickiest painting tasks — how to convey bright sunlight by painterly means. The marathon runs over two days. We will move in sequence: from composition and the large color relationships to modeling the objects, working with light and the finishing accents. The result will be not just a still life with a samovar, but a sunlit painting with the atmosphere of a summer tea on the veranda. Get your canvas, paints and good mood ready — see you at "Tea on the Veranda"!

Theorium "Bouquet Behind the Curtain"
How do you paint sunlight so that it really glows on the canvas? In the new Theorium we will look at painting a bouquet by the window — a complex and very beautiful subject built on the interplay of light, color and transparent fabric. The main character here is not even the flowers but the light. It passes through the curtain, dissolves the edges of objects, changes the shades of the petals and the greenery, creates colored…

Theorium "The Kuindzhi Effect"
"Moonlit Night on the Dnieper" by Arkhip Kuindzhi caused a real sensation while the artist was still alive. To viewers it seemed almost impossible to reach such a bright moonlight glow with paint. There were even rumors that a lamp was hidden behind the canvas — so unusual was the effect of the light. In the new Theorium we will look in detail at how Kuindzhi created this illusion and why it works. The Theorium consists of…

Under Sail
A two-day oil painting marathon, "Under Sail". There are pictures you want to step into yourself: a sunny day, the open sea, wind filling the sail, the boat sliding over the waves and, ahead, only the horizon and the feeling of a real summer adventure. In this two-day marathon we paint in oils a lively sea subject with two young travellers setting out towards the wind. "Under Sail" is two days of painting and a small journey to a horizon of your own.

"Grandma's Helpers"
Some scenes need no explanation. Just one look at an old apple tree, a wooden ladder, and a child's basket — and memories carry us back to a summer when the days seemed endless.
from €19.90
Good Morning
Happiness sometimes hides in the simplest things: a fresh baguette, a bunch of delicate tulips, an old door flooded with morning sun. That is the mood we keep on canvas in this new two-day oil painting marathon. Over two live sessions you paint, step by step, an atmospheric picture full of warm light, comfort and the charm of a French morning. Together we make a work that recalls unhurried walks along French streets in the morning, and the fact that every new day begins with beauty.
from €11.90 €19.80
Summer in a Pitcher
There are pictures you look at and seem to smell the warm garden, sun-baked wood and ripe apples. That is the work we make in this new two-day marathon, live. Over two full sessions we paint, step by step, a bright summer still life with sunflowers and apples, filled with golden evening light. This is not simply a painting lesson. It is a chance to keep the feeling of the warmest season on canvas.

Theorium "Corn"
Ordinary cobs of corn, you would think. Yet subjects like these teach you to see painting best of all. There is no complicated architecture here, no crowd of objects — only light, color, texture and composition, which turn a simple still life into an expressive picture. In this new Theorium we do not merely paint the piece: we go through every stage of making it.
from €6.90
Theorium "Alone with Summer"
Sometimes a painting is born not from a complicated subject but from light. A single ray is enough to make skin glow with dozens of shades, to fill hair with gold and to turn an ordinary summer evening into a work of art. In the new Theorium "Alone with Summer" we do not simply repeat a painting step by step. We look at the principles that let you understand painting far…

The Big Game "Ringing Bells"
"Chime of Bells" is a new oil painting Game in which, over four live sessions, we build an atmospheric Russian landscape with an old church, a reflection in still water and the warm colors of sunset. A Game is a format where you do not merely watch a recording: you paint alongside me, live. You can ask questions, get every stage explained in detail and move step by step, with confidence, to a finished work. Whatever your level, you will take away the important principles of landscape painting and a picture you can be genuinely proud of.

Theorium "Lilac Light"
Theorium "The Light of Lilac". Why does lilac look so airy? How do you convey the transparency of a glass vase without losing its form? How do you gather dozens of tiny flowers into a single mass instead of drawing every petal? In this Theorium we work through the composition of the still life, the main masses, the fall of light and shade, how volume is built and the order of work…

The Warmth of July
We invite you to a new oil painting marathon in which we paint a bright summer still life full of sunlight and the air of a warm July day. The marathon suits beginners as well as anyone who wants to make their work freer, livelier and fuller of light.

Theorium "Lemons"
Why do some still lifes look convincing and others do not, even when every object is drawn correctly? The answer begins with composition. In this issue of Theorium, using the painting "Lemons", we go through the whole path of making a picture — from the first line to the final accents of color. You will learn how to build an expressive composition and organize space…

Light in Drawing
We hold a two-day marathon devoted entirely to drawing in ordinary pencil. We are used to talking about color, painting and working in oils. But real expression is born much earlier — in the drawing. It is there that volume, light, space and the mood of the future picture appear. In two days we build a modern still life with white roses, a glass vase and grapes, flooded with sunlight. Even if you have only ever painted in oils, this marathon will help you see light, form and tone anew. That knowledge stays with you in every picture that follows.
from €11.90 €19.80
Theorium "Through the Pines"
Theorium is a new kind of master class: we do not paint the picture together, we take its making apart in detail. It is a chance to look into the painter's studio and understand not only what to do but why. Using the painting "Through the Pines" we go step by step through the whole path of a painterly work. Lesson 1. Drawing and composition — you will see how…

In the Studio
Starts 22 July 2026. There are moments when sunlight turns an ordinary studio into a source of inspiration. Rays slide across the canvas, reflect in the jars of brushes, play on the palette, and every drop of paint seems to glow from within. In this lesson we paint an atmospheric picture in oils whose hero is not only the landscape on the canvas but the studio itself…

Deep in the Forest
We invite you to paint in oils an atmospheric forest landscape full of cool morning light and complete stillness. This lesson helps you feel the beauty of free oil painting and make a picture with a mood of its own.
from €11.90 €19.80
The Attic
We invite you to paint in oils an atmospheric city view inspired by the architecture of old Paris. At the center stands a graceful French attic with soft arches, oval windows and the noble texture of stone. It is a picture about the beauty of form, light and architectural rhythm.

Scent of Lavender
The lavender fields of Provence are at their most beautiful in the last minutes before sunset. Warm light slides softly along the flowering rows, filling the landscape with deep lilac, golden and pink. At that moment the air itself seems to become part of the picture, holding the warmth of the departing day and the fine scent of lavender. Painted in oils with brush and palette knife…

Sunny Garden
Starts 29 June. Paint a canvas filled with the warmth of a Russian summer: an old country house, a garden, long shadows.

Architecture of the Body
The human body is one of the hardest and most beautiful subjects in painting. In this master class we paint a male figure in oils, taking it not as a set of muscles but as a whole architectural form in which every volume answers to light, movement and construction. The lesson turns on painterly stylisation: we deliberately leave photographic detail aside and work in large planes and expressive strokes. This approach helps you understand the build of the body far better, see how the large volumes relate and learn to think in form rather than in separate details.
from €11.90 €19.80
Lost Path
Starts 26 June. An atmospheric forest landscape filled with cool mist and the quiet grandeur of old trees.
from €29.90
Old Tree
We paint a sunlit southern landscape whose hero is a mighty old tree. Its powerful trunk, spreading branches and curious shapes make an expressive center, while the road running into the distance gives the picture depth and a sense of journey. The subject is fine practice for anyone who wants to paint sunlit landscapes in acrylic freely, boldly and with feeling, carrying not only the beauty of nature but the calm an old tree gives on a hot summer day.
