What will I learn in the Master Class?
National and international students are warmly welcomed to the Edna Kannan ArtStudio.
Enjoy pleasant, relaxing moments while painting a fascinating Portrait in a cozy studio atmosphere — with your favorite drink, ambient music, aromatherapy, and a delicate tasting of snacks — all within a space thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail.
This experience can be enjoyed either in a small, select group or in a private setting.
We provide Professional Translators in all languages (English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Catalan, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, etc.).
No prior experience in porcelain painting (or in portrait art) is required.
It is very important to mention that each student will create an original and unique painting. The completed artworks are authorized to be exhibited publicly.
The level of progress will depend on each student’s dedication and consistency. The goal is to help you reach your maximum potential in a fast, simple, and efficient way.
In the Private Classes with Edna Kannan, you will be able to perfect any topic related to porcelain portrait painting — or focus exclusively on the areas of your choice.
