AUTHOR'S INDIVIDUAL LESSONS

Kristina is a wonderful teacher!
Very clearly explains and tells exactly the basis.
This gives an opportunity for independent development

I remember Kristina's lessons as a wonderful experience. The atmosphere of respect for individuality is combined with a clear program. It was very useful for me to study with you!

I want to share my impressions of the dry pastel painting course and express my gratitude to Kristina. I'm not an artist, I didn't know how to draw at all. I came to the course to try. It was scary because of the inability. But magical Kristina creates such an amazing atmosphere in the classroom, inspires to work so much and helps to overcome difficulties so my fear was has forgotten. The feeling of magic did not leave me throughout the course.

Moreover, my sketches and the delight of the lessons aroused the desire to learn to draw from an 8-year-old daughter, and we were able to go to classes together. Methodical, extremely clear presentation of the material, assistance in difficulties and an amazing calm atmosphere gave me confidence for home experiments. I will be happy to come to painting lessons again when there is time.

The ability to draw allows you to see the beauty in everyday things, enjoy everything, open horizons and deep meanings of things and events. Thank you so much for the experience!

I really liked the watercolor painting course, because it was the first time I learned how to work with this material correctly so that I liked the result. It turned out easy and airy.

There was always a joyful expectation on the day of classes for two reasons: the opportunity to learn new practical tips for yourself on how to work, and, of course, the process of drawing in very pleasant, relaxed atmosphere: your attentive attitude to everyone, comfort, pleasant music — all this was very distracting from some of your worries and always left good mood!

Although I studied at an art school, and also periodically tried to draw something with watercolors myself: I didn't like the result. And after the course there was a system: how to work properly, what to pay attention to, etc. Kristina gave a lot of valuable practical advice that really made watercolor painting more understandable: after finishing the course, I continued to draw on my own, using your advice!

I took courses in academic drawing at the Kristina Mariinskaya School. Classes were held in a wonderful, calm atmosphere, and the topic of the lesson was explained in simple language. These two hours I just disconnected from everything and was completely immersed in drawing. Classes ended so quickly, I wanted to stay to draw.

We studied the basics of academies. I try to use the acquired knowledge in independent practice and hone my skills. I liked the approach and training of Kristina Mariinskaya so much, I would like to take another course at this school. I think that says a lot.

The classes were wonderful, it was incredibly pleasant to be in the atmosphere of an art school, to learn how to draw with dry pastels.

Do you remember how you taught me how to sharpen pencils with a knife "as artists do"? I've even bought my own already! I would love to take a course in academic drawing again!

Kristina is an amazing teacher. She is well-versed in her business and enthusiastic. With all the careful attitude and serious approach, she gave careful feedback and it is very comfortable for adults to learn from her. I have completed 2 courses in watercolor and I am very happy — I draw with pleasure!

So, I'm probably going to talk not only about the watercolor course, but about the whole learning experience.
From the very beginning, I really liked the attitude and attention that Kristina pays to each student! It is very important that equally valuable advice is given to both a person who does not know how to draw, and a person with experience and skills.

I definitely became more confident working with watercolors, it's easier to relate to sketches, to mistakes, to sketch faster. I'm constantly sketching on the go.

And Kristina's atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable has always been in the open air and in classes!
Thank you for the classes, for the help, for human attitude!

I really enjoyed the training, nevertheless I'm a beginner… Kristina conducted the course in an accessible, interesting and delicate way (which is important). I have three beautiful works left… Thank her very much!

I liked literally everything in the classes — a beautiful location, a relaxed and calm atmosphere, a pleasant and attentive teacher. All this allows you to forget about everything for the duration of the lesson and immerse yourself in the meditative process of creativity!

The most important thing that I learned for myself from the classes is that it is possible to learn everything, the main thing is not to be afraid) I managed to unlock my potential even more under the strict guidance of a teacher who easily explained the drawing techniques that seemed to be something complicated before!
Now I know much more, and I approach the creation of the drawing calmly and without fear, thank you!

Kristina, thank you very much for the classes! We were with my daughter (10 years old). As a mother, I liked the approach to the child. Everything that was not clear - it was explained until the child finished the work, and the lesson did not end. And yet, what is not unimportant in the choice of classes is the affordable cost of your courses!
