Private plein air painting workshop with Ksenia Yarovaya


Turn your holiday in Greece into an unforgettable creative adventure!

One real story

This summer, a guest from abroad contacted me during her family vacation in Halkidiki. She dreamed of learning how to paint en plein air and wanted to make her holiday truly special. Over several days, we painted in different locations — by the sea, in ancient olive groves, and on picturesque village squares. She returned home with beautiful paintings and memories she will cherish forever.

A journey through different locations

  • Azure paradise bays

Painting in nature

We work in a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by the beauty of Halkidiki.
Using my own painting as an example, I demonstrate the basic techniques of painting while you work on their own painting. I also demonstrate some artistic techniques directly on the your canvas for clarity.

Why this is a special experience

As a professional artist living in Halkidiki, I share not only painting techniques, but also stories and the atmosphere of the beautiful places in Greece that inspire me to create my own works.
I am happy to help people feel like real artists and creators, and to express their inner energy on canvas. But most importantly, it brings me immense joy to see the happy smiles and sparkling eyes of my students after the workshops!

An Unforgettable Painting Experience
I can wholeheartedly recommend painting with Ksenia. I came to Greece hoping to enjoy a few plein-air painting sessions, but I left with so much more than that. Ksenia is not only a talented artist but also a wonderful teacher. She has a rare gift for helping you truly see—light, atmosphere, color, and the beauty hidden in the simplest landscapes. She creates a calm, encouraging environment where you feel comfortable, regardless of your level of experience. During our three sessions, I learned much more than painting techniques. I learned to simplify, to observe, to appreciate nature, and to paint with confidence instead of fear. Her husband, Pavel, was also incredibly kind and supportive, helping with every detail and capturing beautiful photos and videos that will always remind me of this special experience. These workshops became one of the most meaningful memories of my trip to Greece. I am deeply grateful to Ksenia for her generosity, patience, and the joy she shared with me. If you are looking not only for painting lessons but for an inspiring and unforgettable artistic experience, I recommend Ksenia with all my heart. With heartfelt appreciation and gratitude ,
