Nude painting at the palace

Around 20 amateur and professional painters and draftsmen met today next to the Japanese Palace to depict three naked Graces in the best weather. This plein air took place for the ninth time. The artistic director Aleko Adamia was very satisfied in the afternoon.

He shouts “great and keep it up” to the three models, then the break is over. The covers fall off, the girls find their pose and everyone is grabbing pens, brushes and spatulas.
Aleko Adamia is particularly pleased with the 60 meter long open-air gallery, which gives the painting a wonderful setting. A few steps away, young artists from a Meißner school are drawing. "This is our 'Follow Little Hearts' project, where boys and girls can create on screen under artistic direction." He is enthusiastic about the response: "Family and school children are here every day, I would not have thought that it would be so well received."

While today's nude painting is already part of the fixed program in the afternoon, there is something new for the evening and the night. The models, who acted as “sleepers” in the afternoon, turn into “chilling ones” from 8:00 p.m., they are surrounded by the artistic hustle and bustle and numerous screens. Parallel to the current program (piano night with Ulugbek Palvanov and Andrej Lakisov), the night painting will take place from 8 p.m. to midnight. All visitors are invited to be there when day and night blur and creativity bubbles. Aleko Adamia: "When the gallery is illuminated, it creates a very special atmosphere."
