Have you ever wondered what the name really means? Paint & Progress? In direct translation it means “Paint and develop”, and this phrase encompasses much more than just learning techniques, mastering color mixing skills, and perfecting painting skills.
How did the idea for Paint & Progress come about?
The idea for Paint & Progress came from two Latvian artists – Dzintar Kalniņš and Ilvija Žeigurewho had one common goal: to create a painting environment in which every person feels welcomed, supported and encouraged. It's not just a master class or a lesson where you learn how to draw a brush, but self-discovery and self-improvement projectwho comes to the client without intermediaries.
Why is an artist the best provider of their service?
Paint & Progress is based on the belief that the artist himself is able to offer and implement his service in a much higher qualitythan any broker or business manager can do.
This project is not a classic “business model” where agencies or managers stand between the artist and the client, guided by financial conditions and adding their own percentage, resulting in both suffering. both material quality and service quality, and also the artist's energy exchange with you.
Paint & Progress is a direct bridge between the teacher and you.
💡 Why?
The artist himself is the creator – he lives through this process.
He is able to adapt to each client's inner world, emotions, and desires.
A business intermediary often focuses on financial goals, while an artist focuses on creative results, aesthetic enjoyment, and true client development.
This doesn't mean that agencies or managers are bad, but only the artist himself can convey his vision and energy in full quality, without filters or compromises. And this also affects the price of the service – because you pay directly to the creator, not to a chain of intermediaries. As a result, you receive a higher quality service at an appropriate, fair price and you can be sure that every amount invested returns to the creator of the creative work.
