During the three-session workshops, we will see archival photographs from the collection of the Sybir Memorial Museum and visit the temporary exhibition ‘Only Pain is Mine’. We will also look at modern artistic practices inspired by old photography.
Then we will move on to the practical part. We will explore various painting techniques — focusing especially on acrylic paints. We will learn how to create gradients, streaks, hair reflections and how to paint the sky, mold or moss. During the meetings, we will create original painting works, inspired by both the spirit of old portraits and modern art.
We will end the workshops with a unique exhibition where we are able to present our joint works.
Join our artistic group and discover your creative potential!
