If you need any assistance regarding the purchase of equipment, do not hesitate to call us on 777 422 022 or write email to info@malovanikresleni.cz, we will be very happy to advise you. The first lesson of your course is introductory and therefore it is possible to use it for consultation regarding the equipment.

For each lesson is good to have your own favorite mug – you can make some coffee or tea in the studio. Sometimes it's nice to make short break with coffee and look at the image with different eyes. Also, it's nice to think of "working painter 'clothing", just an old coat and baggy T-shirt to not be afraid of colors, which will lurk everywhere in the studio.
