Mākslas Pietura is a painting studio in Riga, run by professional painter Ilvija Žeigure, who has many years of teaching experience. It offers a safe and creative environment where you can learn the basics of art at a relaxed pace, with an individual approach to each student. Classes are suitable for all ages — both beginners and those with experience.
Thank you for this unique opportunity to attend Ilvija Žeigure's outdoor painting workshop. As it was my first time participating in such an event, I had no idea how a painting is created. The work process was very exciting and meditative, as if nothing else existed around me except for brushes, paints, and a white background... I really liked the artist's individual approach to each participant. And the whole process gave me such pleasure, creating my first painting in my life. 😊😊😊 Thank you, Ilvija, for your encouragement, it gave me wings, showing me that anything is possible. ❤️
Ilvija is very responsive and sincere, and knows how to find the right approach to both children and adults. I have been encouraged to look at painting as a playground where I can dare to experiment in order to discover my best performance. I really enjoy working with Ilvija, because I not only receive professional training and advice, but also enjoy the warmth and positive atmosphere that prevails during the summer plein air sessions. This year, I graduated from the 9th grade of the Janis Rozentals Art School. Five years ago, when I dared to enroll in this school, it was Ilvija who helped me prepare for the entrance exams and supported me.
Thank you very much for your motivation, advice, training, and positive outlook on life.
When you meet Ilvija, you won't want to look for another teacher. Ilvija will explain and teach you, repeating if necessary. She will also be able to convince you to continue at home. "Mākslas Pietura" is a haven of peace for me and a place where I can be in harmony with colors and myself.
I definitely recommend trying it even if you have no prior drawing experience. It's a very relaxing activity, forget about everyday life and create something unique, count. Individual approach to everyone and no rush! Thanks again for an unforgettable event!
Wonderful and caring teacher! Very open minded and professional in her work. I am very happy to join her art classes!
