Art Dao • Art workshops and mindful sessions in Porto

Hi, I'm Margarita.

As a professional artist, I created this da Vinci drawing class with love and attention to detail. Let's travel back to the Renaissance and rediscover the fascinating world of Leonardo da Vinci studies! Together we'll create reproductions of the most famous and rare sketches from his notebooks, using authentic materials and a unique drawing transferring technique that was used in his time!

All materials are provided, and no prior experience is needed - just come as you are, and leave not only with a fascinating drawing, but also with new friends, warm memories, and a great inspiration for your future creations! Natural colors and materials in clothing are welcome, but not mandatory:)

It's a donation-based workshop, the suggested donation is 25€, but you're welcome to contribute any amount you're comfortable with at the end of the event. We're meeting upstairs, on the first floor of Suribachi café. The class will be held in English.

Art, nature, and good company - let's gather for an unforgettable painting experience!

Hi, I’m Margarita, a professional artist from Ukraine, living in Porto. And I’m happy to invite you to a unique art picnic in São Roque Park. Together, we will recreate The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli - one of the most beautiful paintings in art history. I will guide you step by step, showing how to mix and combine soft pastel colours, how to simplify complex shapes with keeping it's elegant lines, and how to create compositional harmony in your painting.

I made this workshop to be perfect for beginners. So, no prior experience is needed - just bring your curiosity and love for art. I will prepare a few light snacks for our cozy creative gathering, but the main focus will be painting 😊
