Testimonials ˚
" I had a fantastic experience with Alicja. The classes are very relaxing and friendly, she is patient and takes time to explain to every students how to paint or draw. She also has a great sense of humour! Besides that, I was extremely pleased with what I learned both with color mixing, painting and drawing techniques. She has a precise and elaborate way of teaching that work both with beginners and advanced levels. I have already some experiences and those classes allowed me to reconnect with my skills and to discover new methods. I highly recommend her! "
