It exhibits paintings by the artist, teacher Peter Kostin, and nine of his students. The principle of Peter Kostin's work is very similar to the workshops of the Renaissance, where the great masters of painting taught their students. First you learn to draw, then you copy the world-famous paintings. Each student is gifted and I help unleash his talent. Classical painting is the highest level that is difficult to achieve, but the effort pays off with impressive works. The exhibition "Choices" will run until July 2. Her presentation and meeting with the authors will take place on July 2. 14:00 Druskininkai Craft Center "Menų kalvė" (M. K. Čiurlionio str. 27) We invite you!
