Outdoor painting in the interior

During the meetings, light workshop activities await you: creative, sometimes ecological, always conducive to regeneration. We turn the longing for nature, especially felt in the autumn-winter period, into an opportunity to act and look for inspiration in non-obvious places.

The cycle is directed for those who need to stop for a moment, relax and experience something real — without screens or notifications. Meetings do not require special preparation or skills — the most important thing is curiosity, openness and willingness to spend time in a friendly environment.

MEADOW

We are back with the paper drawn! This time we will use not only waste paper for the base of our paper, but also previously dried leaves and flowers, giving plant materials a second life. The prepared colored paper pulps will be used to create colorful compositions depicting our impressions of nature, inspired by the view of the autumn garden in the museum.

14 November 2026 (Saturday), 13:00 — 18:00

THE

We will turn the gray of November days into an opportunity to look at nature from a different side, looking not for colors, but for interesting textures and materials. We will create original painting and drawing tools from branches, pine needles, cones, stones and other natural materials. We will experiment with their shape, structure and the way they leave marks on paper, creating works full of unobvious shapes and images.

Collection under ms1

Transport by rented vehicle to the Łagievnicki forest

Searching for elements to create painting tools

Tea break

Painting paintings on easels using previously created painting tools, searching for how to get unusual shapes and textures

Joint presentation of images

12 December 2026 (Saturday), 13:00 — 15:30

SNOW

Longing for the first snow, which, perhaps, will be missing outside the window, we will move into the world of whiteness and silence of winter landscapes. We will create relief paintings - a spatial composition that brings to mind the softness and tenderness of snow. We will learn how to create striking textures and fluid, organic shapes using a variety of media — from professional tools to materials easily available at home.

16 January 2027 (Saturday), from 13:00 to 18:00

FLICKERING LIGHT

The changing light, the momentum of the vehicle, the blurring of landscapes will become our challenge. Instead of a traditional, stationary workplace, we will observe the changing landscape through the windows of the vehicle. We will try to capture its most important elements in short, dynamic sketches looking for our own way of representing movement.

Course of classes:

Collection under ms1

Transport by rented vehicle

Distribute materials in the vehicle and start painting while driving, taking advantage of the changing landscape outside the window

Access to the Stefański ponds, tea break

Free creative action - transfer the selected sketch to a wooden board

Joint presentation of works and discussion

Return by rented bus at ms1

13 February 2027 (Saturday), 13:00 — 16:00

THE SMELL OF HERBS

How can we use herbs in art today? We will talk about the colors hidden in nature, the process of their extraction and how to create in harmony with the environment. Then we will prepare our own fragrance mixtures to our liking. Our task will be to translate the impressions of the resulting smells into the image.

13 March 2027 (Saturday), 13:00 — 18:00

AWAKENING

In March, the landscape is between winter and spring. During the trip we will observe these subtle transformations and look for inspiration for our own creative work. Sketches and short impressions inspired by the landscape encountered will be created. An important element will be to capture the atmosphere of the place, the changing light and what is just beginning to appear in nature.

Course of classes:

Collection under ms1

Transport by rented vehicle to Jan's ponds, tea break

Walk in search of inspiration, creating pictures and painting sketches

Placing easels, picnic blankets and handing out materials. Free creative action

REFLECTIONS OF THE SUN

Cyanotype is an unusual combination of art, nature and light, which allows you to turn leaves, flowers and other objects into unique compositions. Inspired by this technique, we will create natural, golden prints using turmeric. We will learn how to prepare a photosensitive emulsion yourself, illuminate the work and experiment with different materials and textures.

15 May 2027 (Saturday), 13:00 — 16:00

THE SOUND OF THE RIVER

At the meeting in the garden, we will try to capture our impressions, emotions with the help of watercolor paints and various techniques that allow you to experiment with their form. We will check how the pigment spills on the paper, creating non-obvious shapes. We will not focus on faithfully reproducing the landscape, but on building our own artistic interpretation of the sounds, movement and atmosphere of the place.

19 June 2027 (Saturday), 13:00 — 16:00

GRASS MOVEMENT

What happens when, instead of controlling every movement of the hand, we let the body guide the brush? At the next meeting in the garden, we will create unique painting works made with wide, smooth movements that activate the whole body. We will be inspired by the rhythm of nature, the breath, the sounds of the environment and our own emotions, creating images that will arise not only from color, but also from gesture.
