“I’ve been to Michal’s workshops four times and each time the course has brought me something different, either a shift in technical skills or just a nice relaxing weekend. I prepared myself mentally for the first course and reassured myself that I would be able to do it. After seeing the subject, only one thing came to mind: “I’ll never paint this; he must be crazy”. Over the weekend Michal taught me how to look at the subject, how to work properly with pastels, how to create volume through light and shadow… and how to open a bottle of wine with a wooden spoon. Today I am a pretty good artist and the experience I gained from the Workshops helps me a lot in my work.

PS: bring a wine opener to the workshops.”

“I have been going to Michal for two years and as long as he continues to hold workshops (and I hope he will for a very long time), I will continue to sign up. Since the first drawing with him, I have clear ideas for gifts for birthdays, holidays, Christmas… And although I sometimes get angry when things don’t go the way I want them to in my eyes, I love it. More and more. Besides, I couldn’t have chosen better.”

“I had been planning to attend Michal Janovský’s workshop for a long time. I work mostly with charcoal drawings and wanted to try pastels, especially colour portraits. The weekend spent under Michal’s guidance was absolutely perfect. He explained everything beautifully, demonstrated everything and advised what to use and how, and also what to avoid. Personally. it gave me a lot and I learned that the main thing is not to be afraid to use colours and that the most important thing is to want to try. Soon after the workshop, I dared to attempt a very challenging portrait and the result was worth it.”
