Creative Council
At Creative Council, we aim to merge talent and real-world strategies by sharing artistic skills and market knowledge. For 6 days, you’ll draw and paint portraits with Ivan Loginov, diving into classical technique, expressive depth, and artistic clarity. Along the way, you’ll explore the business side of art, connect with fellow creatives, and share ideas, laughs, and great talks — all under the Portuguese sun.
Master classical portraiture and a sustainable art practice
In art, we often look back and think: “If only I had known that sooner.” How to build form. How to capture emotion. How to talk to galleries, price your work, or stay consistent without burning out. From that comes our commitment to artistic clarity — in your process, your path, and your place in the art world.
For 6 days, you’ll draw and paint portraits from life under the guidance of Ivan Loginov — learning not just how to capture a likeness, but how to reveal a character through form, light, and subtle nuance.
Alongside the painting sessions, you’ll have seminars on the business of art, marketing, how to work with galleries, technical deep-dives on materials, and honest conversations about mindset, consistency, and building a sustainable career. It’s six days of

Meet your mentor
Ivan’s success comes from a deep understanding of the classical school of thought in painting and drawing. He strives to combine and overlap all his skills in order to achieve an accurate representation of the human soul. He likes to implement and play with contrasts in color, technique, and ideas. Therefore, even in his large-scale history paintings, one must find clear messages of present issues in society.
“Behind every stroke lies a centuries-old tradition, and I want to share with you what I’ve studied and discovered. We won’t just be learning to draw — we’ll be unraveling how to convey the character of a person through form and light. I’ll show you everything I’ve learned and what I consider useful, the techniques I use every day in my work on personal projects. Together, we’ll strive to achieve portrait likeness and psychological depth in our portraits.”
— Ivan Loginov

Words from our Artists
Tania Rivilis
Ivan's workshop left the biggest imprint in my art practice — he is not only amazingly talented, but also an absolutely wonderful teacher. Thanks to him I learned a lot about color, composition, and painting technique. He creates an environment in which you freeze yourself to be more creative, to take a more interesting approach to painting a portrait, to look at nature more intricately and to go deeper into the process of creation. I advise everyone to attend Ivan Loginov's workshop, as it helps a lot to shift and look at painting from a new angle.
Carly Harvy
By far the best artist workshop experience I have ever had. The team really care about every participants success as an artist and go above and beyond to assist with our growth and create an open community. In no other workshop have I had the level of support before and after the workshop, sharing ideas/paintings/tips and tricks. Having the perspective of a gallery owner, artist, marketing specialist, business coach and artist material supplier has allowed to form my own path to success with their input and I feel I have all the tools to succeed. If you are wanting to be a professional artist this is the best step to grow in your career.
Jeanne May
The Art Syndicate Team designed an amazing workshop. Every aspect of our week together was carefully planned to create a cohesive experience for an artist at any stage. The experience of meeting one of my favorite artists combined with gaining a community of artists from around the world was transformational for my artist growth. If you get a chance to participate in an Art Syndicate Zone workshop don’t pass it up!
Mihail Zaidel
I took two workshops with Ivan Loginov, and it was an incredible experience and a lifetime of memories. Ivan is not only an outstanding artist, but also a talented teacher who knows how to explain complex things in a way that makes sense to everyone. He teaches cool academic painting, drawing and composition, imparting knowledge based on the traditions of the St. Petersburg Academy. Every day at the workshops was intense: from breaking down fundamental principles to working with nature and creating finished works. Thanks to these classes I realized what I should work on and got a powerful charge of motivation. I recommend these workshops to anyone who wants to reach a new level in art!
