Amazing landscape of the wild nature gives inspiration for creation to human. Through the imitative world of “DRAWING” you can absorb the powerful energy of these places! That is why we have made this interesting creative workshop for our guests. The instructor of the program, Ekaterina Vahina, a professional painter, architect and designer, offers you a unique program of “intuitive painting”, which includes different kinds of art work:

PLEIN AIR is painting and drawing outdoors, creation of landscape paintings from nature, for example, sketches of the sea in different states – bright sunny day or romantic sunset.

Every lesson includes a workshop with the painter, where you can learn interesting techniques, such as A La Prima painting, the effects of water-color on wet paper, stain and brushstroke painting; also you will get the main ideas of light-and-shade and aerial perspective in landscape painting.

INTUITIVE PAINTING is aimed at development of creative imagination of the individual.

For instance, the artistic experiments with paper and paint (monotyping) lead to creation of unexpected abstract paintings, peculiar only to your individuality. Also, “subject painting” of still life, interiors and models is possible through intuitive painting, there you can apply original techniques, like light painting, painting through abstraction, painting by subdominant hand and many others, which secrets will be revealed by our painter.

APPLIED AND DECORATIVE PAINTING is a way to decorate the subject world. For example, the lessons of painting wooden “birds of happiness” can lead to creation of your own, unique souvenir that will decorate your house!

For fruitful art work of our guests the eco-resort “Letnyaya Zolotitsa” has prepared professional artistic instruments and materials: easels, painter’s cases, watercolour paper and painting boards, brushes, water colours and tempera, pastel and etc. At the end of the courses there will be an exposition and presentation of the best author’s works in our house…

Information. The process of painting is natural for every human-being. It is one of the ways of self-fulfillment. It is a wonderful possibility “to take a breath of fresh air”.

Painting is a safe way to let the situation go, to get rid of the necessity to be perfect, to accept the fact that you do not know what happens next. There is no need to heal, to change, to restore someone or something. There is only the need to express your inner feelings, to believe your eyes and see only directions, crossings and interrelations. It is a good way to see the familiar things in a new perspective.

It is widely known that painting develops the intercoordination of the arm and the eye, increases the ability to see what is in front of you, and improves the visional thinking (that is very useful while developing creative ideas).

Many people can’t paint because of the limitations or distortions in the way of vision of the left hemisphere. Most people try to paint using the part of brain that is responsible for speech. Intuitive painting turns on the other, speechless part of brain, which is situated in the right hemisphere and has a perfect sense of space and form. Intuitive painting helps to open your heart to the present and to think of new possibilities.

The additional packages (sightseeing, health improving, relaxing, ecological, athletic, educational, corporate) can be included by prior arrangement.
