DESCRIPTION OF LESSONS
Step into Costa Dvorezky’s studio for a rare, intimate experience in figure painting, where you’ll feel as though you’re right there alongside him. In this exclusive demo, you’ll see the live video feed of the model from Costa’s vantage point, offering an immersive perspective as he paints. Like a fly on the wall, you’ll witness Costa’s personal creative process as he shares his thoughts and decisions in real time, creating a truly authentic and inspiring experience.
Costa begins by discussing his approach to composition and design, revealing how he decides where to place the figure to create a cohesive and successful painting. You’ll watch as he moves into the underpainting phase, where he sketches the composition using his two favorite colors for underpaintings—explaining why these choices set the foundation for his work.
As Costa transitions to adding color, you’ll have an unobstructed view of his palette from start to finish. Observe how he selects and mixes colors, applies paint, and brings the nude figure to life. Throughout the demo, Costa shares his insights on topics like using the right amount of paint, allowing details to emerge naturally, constructing an illusion for the viewer, and focusing on what truly matters in a painting.
This isn’t a step-by-step instructional course but rather an opportunity to be part of Costa’s artistic journey as he paints. His remarks, reflections, and hands-on process will leave you inspired and equipped with new ideas for your own work. If you’ve ever wanted to see how a master artist approaches the nude figure, this is an experience you won’t want to miss!

MEET COSTA DVOREZKY - ARTIST
Costa has drawn inspiration for his prolific works of art from board travels and his abundant life experiences as both a visitor and resident of numerous countries around the world. Born in Russia in 1968, Costa developed his unique brand of art through his extensive schooling at the Art College and the Academy of Arts in Moscow. His passion and talent for art was recognized by Russia’s Union of Young Artists when he received the Development of The Year Award in 1997.
Through his paintings Costa goes beyond the obvious to uncover the symbolism within the human aspect of daily life. His creativity and style come alive through his works depicting dark and surreal imagery. As a viewer of Costa’s images, one is transported to a world of fictional proportions that exists in the recesses of the artist’s mind.
Metamorphosed human and animal figures shrouded in darkness, suggest the existence of a distorted world-order. These images evoke one to closely examine and question the reality of what one sees. Through his artwork, Costa challenges the observer to not only understand the scope of the actual image, but to also comprehend the feelings that the image provokes. His paintings are as bold as the statements that they make, and it is up to each individual to decipher what the meaning behind the image really is.
Costa’s art has achieved international recognition. It has been featured in many private and public exhibits on European and North American stage, and has been sold to many private collection in Europe, the United States and Canada.
