ARTIZO art studio: painting and drawing classes for adults in Bratislava

ARTIZO is the studio of artist Alina Koroleva. We teach drawing and painting from the ground up, in regular small-group classes with plenty of individual attention. You’ll leave with paintings of your own — and a confident hand.

Regular classes

You learn to draw by drawing, week after week. That’s why everything here is built around ongoing classes on a subscription: a clear plan, a small group and a teacher who knows every one of you.

Over the student’s shoulder: the teacher shows on the canvas how to paint the figure.

Drawing & painting for adults (16+)

From a confident line to a painting of your own: drawing, light and shadow, colour, composition. A small group of adults — complete beginners and those ready to go further.

How it works

  1. Step 1: Trial lesson

    Get to know the studio, Alina and the group, and see what learning here is like. Your first lesson is half price. Or just drop by for a cup of tea — you’re always welcome.

  2. Step 2: 5-lesson pack

    Five lessons for €150 — that’s €30 a lesson instead of €40. Once a week, in a small group.

  3. Step 3: Progress you can see

    Everyone moves at their own pace. Alina guides each student individually, and we keep your work so you can see how far you’ve come.

  4. Step 4: Exhibition

    At the end of the season, we’ll exhibit your best work and celebrate it together.

Learn with Alina Koroleva

Alina is an artist, a teacher and the founder of ARTIZO. She comes from a family of artists, and teaching is her true calling. She has mastered a wide range of techniques — from classical drawing and oil painting to watercolour, polymer clay and resin — and knows how to explain them so that you can master them too.

“Anyone can learn to draw. All you need is regular practice and someone to show you how to look.”
