We will conduct our oil painting workshop in English and Polish in the famous Jaś and Małgosia houses (Hansel and Gretel houses) located in the Wroclaw’s vibrant market square (‘rynek in Polish) in the centre of the city and close to all tourists’ attractions. From the painting studio you will be able to also view the historic rynek square and all the attractions it offers. We shall meet on Thursday morning on the ground floor of the Małgosia house at 10.00 am.

You will be free to choose what you would like to paint, whether it’s a portrait, landscape, natural objects or just plein-air in Wroclaw’s many fascinating places, working from photo’s or sketches and painting on canvas

This 4-day oil painting workshop has been designed to develop your oil painting and drawing skills, whether you are a beginner or an established artist, with our well-known local artist, Katarzyna Popinska, website  http://popinska.e-kei.pl  and her assistant Janusz so everyone has the personal attention of 2 experienced artists during the workshop. We hope to give our artists a relaxing and enjoyable time, while drawing and painting in an artistic talented group, and there will also be time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the historic city, or to just relax and have a glass of wine and enjoy the many buskers in the market square. Lessons will be conducted inside but depending on the weather we can venture outside and paint the many medieval buildings and attractions that are located in the market square.

Lessons will be from Thursday to Sunday from 10.00 to approx. 15.00 with a break, so that you are free in the late afternoon and explore the many attractions in the city. 

One afternoon after the painting class if there is interest in the group, we can visit the Panorama of the Battle of Racławice. The Racławice Panorama is a monumental cycloramic painting depicting the Battle of Racławice, during the Kościuszko Uprising. The painting is one of only a few preserved relics of a genre of 19th-century mass culture, and the oldest in Poland. The panorama stands in a circular fashion and, with the viewer in the centre, presents different scenes at various viewing angles. A special kind of perspective used in the painting and additional effects create a feeling of reality.

The oil painting workshop will finish on Sunday afternoon with an exhibition of the paintings and farwell drinks and snacks. 

An oil painting workshop is having fun in creating art, especially in the beautiful surroundings of a historic city like Wroclaw, it brings out the passion and talent of a person and most important is that it is very enjoyable. You will also meet new people and share your love for painting with each other. Together with the other participants you will learn from each other. You will surprise yourself of the talent that many people have and will learn how much joy painting can bring to you.
