art workshops

The MY ART ROOM project hosts complementary Expressive Drawing workshops, offering an opportunity to explore essential topics such as anatomy, life drawing, and innovative artistic techniques. These workshops are designed to stimulate creativity and strengthen artistic abilities in an engaging and supportive environment. My teaching method reflects years of experience and passion for fostering creativity, so MY ART ROOM has become a vibrant hub for artists seeking to expand their horizons, connect, and leave a lasting impact through their work.

After all the touristsy trips, this felt so calming like a meditation. I really loved the experience and the results was beyond what l expected due to her clear instructions. She gave me tips to do the painting properly but didn't interfere in all details she gave me spare to explore and do what i feel.

Painting in Florence - could anything be better than that? Valeria was kind, helpful, enthusiastic and skilled. She helped us choose out location and subject to paint, and guided us through the steps to create a lovely acrylic plein air painting. I loved the experience so much, and learnt some new skills to help me continue painting in the future. I definitely recommend this.

With Valerie's help, I was actually able to create a painting that is surprisingly close to art haha! She was very sweet and willing to customize and adjust!
