Plein Air Summer School invites you!

[archive course] We would like to invite young people aged 13-18, drawing and painting enthusiasts to participate in the Plein Air Summer School organised as part of the ‘Karpiński’ Drawing and Painting School. This is an opportunity to feel like a true master of pencil and brush in the midst of extraordinary nature. It will also be an opportunity to meet people with similar interests and passions.

The programme includes seven meetings in beautiful natural and historical surroundings. Classes will take place in the garden of the Regional Museum, the surroundings of the Alfons Karpiński Painting Gallery, the fascinating garden in Charzewice and the nooks and crannies of Rozwadów. Participants will have the opportunity to learn a range of painting techniques, such as acrylic paints, watercolours, pastels and others. Among the topics covered in the classes will be architectural detail, plant studies and veduta.


Taking part in the Plein Air Summer School is the perfect way to have a creative yet relaxing holiday!
