New Intensive  "The Line of a Flower"

New Intensive "The Line of a Flower"

Dear friends! 🌸 Introducing a new oil painting Intensive "The Line of a Flower" This time, we will combine a realistic flower, graphic elements, and a contemporary decorative style in one piece. We will paint an iris as part of a complex composition: painterly petals will be paired with large areas of color, fine lines, and graphic elements. In this Intensive, we will explore the iris's form and flowing shapes, working with deep purple, pink, and turquoise shades, combining realism and stylization, and incorporating graphic elements into oil painting. The defining feature of this piece is freedom — you can paint some areas in detail while leaving others flat and decorative. This contrast is what gives it a contemporary feel. "The Line of a Flower" — an Intensive for anyone who wants to try a new visual language and move beyond traditional flower painting ✨ ➡️ "The Line of a Flower" Intensive https://art-class.online/course/428/ Link for those outside Russia: https://art-class.org/course/428/

New Marathon "Autumn Finds"

New Marathon "Autumn Finds"

NEW MARATHON "AUTUMN FINDS" There is something special about the first days of fall. You return from the woods with mushrooms, cut a rowan branch, bring home golden leaves — and realize that a painting is already waiting right in front of you. This is exactly the kind of fall we will paint in the two-day oil painting Marathon "Autumn Finds". 🍄 Porcini mushrooms with warm-colored caps, scarlet rowan berries in a ceramic pitcher, golden leaves, light fabric, and a cool background — everything is built around the contrast between warm and cool. Over two days, we will go from a blank canvas to a finished painting. We will explore composition, color, the volume and texture of mushrooms, ceramics, berries, and rowan branches. Most importantly — we will learn not to "render" every object meticulously, but to bring everything together into a cohesive painting. 🍁 Let's preserve our "Autumn Finds" on canvas.

New Intensive "The Mystery of the Unknown Woman"

New Intensive "The Mystery of the Unknown Woman"

Dear friends! Introducing our new oil painting Intensive, "The Mystery of the Unknown Woman". Starts — September 15. This time, a true art history investigation awaits us. In the Theorium, we will explore Ivan Kramskoy's famous "Unknown Woman": its historical context, theories about the woman in the painting, and details that a 19th-century viewer would have perceived very differently from how we do today. In the practical part, we will bring this image into the 21st century and paint a modern Unknown Woman in snowy Paris — wearing a black coat, behind the wheel of a Porsche convertible. We will preserve the essentials: her character, her gaze, and the sense of mystery. And, of course, you will receive 20+ additional original references so everyone can create their own version of the Unknown Woman. We will do more than copy a masterpiece — we will investigate its mystery and continue its story.

New Marathon "Fairytale Dreams"

New Marathon "Fairytale Dreams"

Dear friends! ✨ We present a new two-day oil painting marathon "Fairytale Dreams" 📅 7 and 9 September This time we will join two worlds in one painting: the tender image of a sleeping child and the space of their imagination. We will work with the portrait, with delicate skin tones, white fabrics and reflected light, with light and complex color combinations. And in creating the fairytale world we will allow ourselves more painterly freedom — bold strokes, patches of color, shimmering light and almost abstract fragments. And the most interesting part — for each of you this dream may be your own. Mikhail has prepared more than 20 additional references with different subjects, so that you can choose your own version and create a unique piece. Two days. Oil. Painting. And a journey into a world that exists only until you wake ✨ ➡️ Marathon "Fairytale Dreams" https://art-class.online/streams/fairytale-dreams/ Link for those outside Russia: https://art-class.org/streams/fairytale-dreams/

New Intensive/Theorium "Vermeer's Gaze"

New Intensive/Theorium "Vermeer's Gaze"

Dear friends! We present a new oil painting intensive "Vermeer's Gaze" This time the Theorium and the practice go separately, but they are joined by one idea. In the Theorium "Vermeer's Mystery" we will study the original "Girl with a Pearl Earring": the light, the composition, the turn of the figure, the gaze and that very mystery of the image. And at the intensive "Vermeer's Gaze" we will carry this idea into the 21st century and paint a modern young woman in a car — with reflections of the evening city in the glass and an earphone instead of a pearl. The program will also include 20 additional references by the author: the metro, a taxi, an airport and other contemporary subjects in different formats. We do not copy Vermeer — we understand his devices and create our own.

New Marathon "Eden"

New Marathon "Eden"

Dear friends! We present a new two-day oil painting marathon "Eden" An unusual piece awaits us: a white heron among large poppies and flowers — a real garden of paradise. We will work out how to paint complex white plumage, keep the light and the purity of color, build up a deep blue wing and not overload the bird with detail. Separately we will work with the flowers: coral, scarlet, peach and soft pink shades. We will learn to bring all this richness of color together into one harmonious composition. What makes this piece special is the combination of an almost realistic bird and a decorative garden. It will be bright, unusual and very painterly Marathon "Eden" https://art-class.online/streams/eden Link for those outside Russia https://art-class.org/streams/eden/

New intensive "The Pomegranate Garden"

New intensive "The Pomegranate Garden"

Dear friends! We present a new painting intensive "The Pomegranate Garden" Start — September 8 This time we will not simply paint a picture but experiment with materials: acrylic + oil + gold leaf. We will look at how to create textures and layering, how to paint deep pomegranate and turquoise shades, how to convey highlights on glossy fruit and how to work with a real golden glow. We will show how to bring acrylic, oil and gold leaf together in one work so that the materials do not argue with each other but create a single decorative space. Here gold will be more than a background — it will run through the branches, leaves, lines and ornaments, drawing the whole composition together. The result is a bright, textured and striking interior work, quite unlike ordinary painting Intensive "The Pomegranate Garden" https://art-class.online/course/425/ A link for those outside Russia: https://art-class.org/course/425/
