"Painting does not exist without drawing. It is the outstanding drawing with its values, which makes the best examples in the History of Fine Art strong and powerful.

Anyone can copy photos or ready-made images, whether they are black and white or in color; but it is the skill to work from life and particularly to draw from life, which reveals the artist's true "Masterability". Even when you paint you never stop drawing, only this time you do that with the brush. Drawing is the must and the fundamental to learn and to know for anyone, wishing to become a truly Professional Artist.

That was always the philosophy of the traditional school and such masters as Bouguereau, Sargent and Repin. And this is the main focus of my workshops, which often distinguishes them from the workshops of others.

Having sixteen years of formal academic education and after years of teaching experience with students around the world, I can assure you that there are no shortcuts in Visual Art's learning. The traditional and academic method of teaching will enable you to possess the right knowledge and, by practicing, eventually the skills you deserve.

Just like the masters, you will be able to paint expertly and fast, without wasting your time on fixing mistakes, simply because there won't be any.

Your education is your investment, invest wisely."
