Program

Altai is an amazing place!!! You can’t tell me about him. It is necessary to immerse yourself in this.This is not just a place on the map — it is a starting point for a journey to other worlds, worlds where the Soul sings.

In this exotic journey, experienced artists will be able to hone their skills, and beginners will be able to learn all the tricks of drawing in mountainous conditions together with our teacher.

You will have a rare opportunity to capture the beauty of the mountain gorges of Maashey and Karakabak, a high-altitude plateau in the zone of alpine meadows, waterfalls, glaciers and, of course, rocky mountain peaks reflected in the crystal clear lakes of Altai.

Clean air, pristine nature, positive energy, as well as a wide range of contrasts, which contributes to inspiration and activation of creative processes.

Our proposed program takes into account such important parameters of the plein air as the time of day and the direction of lighting. Each creative day ends with a general overview and analysis of the work performed and smoothly flows into a cozy discussion and exchange of experience around the campfire. Plein air in the Altai mountains will be interesting for creative natures, beginners and experienced artists, students of art universities and students of art schools.

For lovers – overnight stays in the fresh air and leisurely enjoyment of a cup of freshly brewed coffee or freshly brewed herbal tea made from berries and flowers of Altai.

We will meet you, take you comfortably, place you, talk to you.

Those who like to plan every hour of their life and spend it usefully will not be bored…
