1. Do you like to paint/draw?
''It is important to realise who you are and what is, that you REALLY like. In that way you can choose things which truly make you happy and grow towards your passion. It sounds easy, but in every day life as an adult, it's even easier to loose yourself in daily obligations & routines. I always knew I like painting & drawing. I did it a lot when I was child and during my study. Then I did fall in this gap, which we could call an adult life. I stoped with painting and drawing. It took me10 years to rediscover myself and start painting again. I would love to spare this time to everyone who is still searching. Choose for yourself and be happy. Create time for yourself. Create time for what YOU like to do. At my lessons I will share with you the tricks I use to create 3D effects as on the paintings presented above. As an architect I'll help you to understand the rules of perspective, light & shadow game and many more. You will develop new skills and we will bring your existing skills on a higher level :)
It happens that we don't even know what we do like. Sometimes you don't know if you like to paint or draw at all. Sometimes you haven't got a chance to try. It happens also that you've even tried, but you think yourself that you can't do it or you are not good enough. Well, I might have news for you. With a right mindset and guidance you can achieve things you wouldn't even thought that you could. Give yourself a chance and book a try-out lesson. You will see what I mean. I'm sure after the lesson you will choose YES :) ''

I have already some experiences and those classes allowed me to reconnect with my skills and to discover new methods. I highly recommend her! "
~ Clemence ~
" Alicja is a very professional, compassionate and understanding teacher. I did not know that someone could adapt so well according to different students’ levels. I felt at complete ease from day one to ask questions or clear my doubts about any pastel stick she suggested. She answered all my questions with patience, and helped me develop my sense and my vision for art. Although soft pastel was new medium for me, she guided me proficiently to absorb as much knowledge as she could impart to me. I am very happy with my decision to learn from her, and hope to continue finding challenges that will help me grow further under her guidance."

~ Rehab ~
" The personalized aquarelle course I took with Alicja was a fantastic experience. Not only because of all I learned technically during the 3 months course but specially because I had the opportunity to relate the aquarelle painting styles to other aspects of life.
Alicja is very knowledgeable and her experience as professional architecture and talented artist results in one of the best "maestras de arte". Thank you Alicja for the opportunity to be at your lessons."

My passion for art has led me to create a safe and encouraging environment for everyone to explore their inner artist. From painting to drawing, I offer a variety of techniques to help bring your creative visions to life. Check the technique descriptions below to see what you can learn at Artona
Dry pastel
Dry pastel is an art medium in the form of a stick, consisting of pure powdered
pigment and a binder. The pigments used in pastels are the same as those
used to produce all colored art media, including oil paints; the binder is of a neutral hue and low saturation. The color effect of pastels is closer to the natural dry pigments than that of any other process.
Mixed media
Mixed media technique is combination
of chosen by artist techniques and
creating unique work. You can choose
for media with the same base
(water for example) to mix them
according the book, for example
aquarelle + ink. Mixed media can be also chosen in experimental way.
Aquarelle
Aquarelle (watercolor) a diminutive of the Latin for water, is a painting method in which the paints are made of pigments
suspended in a water-based solution. Typical feature of aquarelle is translucency, and luminous appearance,
because the pigments are laid down in a pure form with few fillers obscuring the pigment colors.
Pencil
A pencil is a writing implement or art medium
constructed of a narrow, solid pigment core
inside a protective casing which prevents the core from being broken or leaving marks on the user’s hand during use. Pencils create marks by physical abrasion, leaving behind a trail of solid core material that adheres to a sheet of paper or other surface.
Japanese ink
At first glance, the art of japanese ink painting seems to be simple. After all, all that one needs is brush, paper and ink. This is however an illusion. It requires a steady hand, focus of a true master, and knowledge on how to control the whole spectrum of grey tones.
Acryl
Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic
paints are water-soluble, but become water-resistant
when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted with water, or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.
