Hello dear Friend,

Happy Holidays Season to you and your family!

Do you remember those days, when your mail box (I mean the real one) was filled not only with junk mail and bills, but also with real letters from family and friends. It was especially exciting during holiday season! As a child I was waiting for mailman to bring daily mail, because of postcards. It was fun to open the envelope and take out the card, look on the design and read hand written greetings. Those times now are pretty much over and most of the greetings we get electronically. I personally miss those old days and if you are like me, I hope you will like Holiday Postcard Exchange, especially handmade one!

By signing up you promise to send your partner a handmade (by you) postcard for Holidays, not later then December 10. As simple as that! You will get a postcard from your assigned partner too! How fun!

Hello dear art Friend,

I’m very excited to present you with Larger, Better and Improved edition – PYHaS2019!

I’m over the moon happy to host this amazing course for another year and absolutely thrilled to introduce to you our brilliant, talented, extraordinary Artists, who will be teaching in PYHaS2019! Click HERE to find out details!

In PYHaS2019 we added more lessons to our curriculum, based on academic knowledge, such as: Color Theory, Proportions, Composition and Values (shading)!

But I also wanted to keep Paint Your Heart and Soul enjoyable and relaxing, so lessons are not dependent on each other and you have the freedom to complete lessons in any order. Many students pointed out that this was very important. As a result, PYHaS 2019 is a good mix of academic studies and creative fun!

Our main focus stays on Portraits and Figures: woman, man, children! however students asked for more lessons on a variety of subject matters, and I couldn’t agree more – we need them all to create visual stories! In PYHaS2019 we have more instructors, which means even more lessons, including lessons on painting beautiful landscapes and flowers, pets and other subjects!

For the first time in three years, PYHaS has a theme, or better to say a goal – get loose and expressive! Our wonderful instructors will show you step-by-step how to achieve it!

The price is over 90% off from the value of the course! Only $99 for 55 lessons at least! What???? That’s right! it is less then $2 per lesson while Early Bird offer is still on! (available for limited time only)

While growing up in Russia, I could have never dreamed that one day I would be able to visit different countries. Italy was always one I was dreaming about.

As a teenager, I was a big fan of Toto Cutugno, who was very popular in Russia at the time. I had a record which I played a million times and fell in love with the sound of Italian language.

Adriano Celentano was a favorite of girls my age

Some dreams fortunately do come true. The amount of inspiration is just overwhelming! The architecture, sculptures, fresco paintings are literally breathtaking! The countryside with happy flying colorful bugs in meadows full of flowers made my heart sing to the tunes of Verdi and Puccini! The fashion and even food (especially gelatto for me!) – everything there was calling for a paint brush!
