My dream came true and I attended Elina's workshop! I spent really great time with you drawing, thinking, observing, absorbing and, of course, having fun! So many insights and revelations for my attempts in illustration. I've got a million of new questions after those days 😂 but isn't it a success of a fruitful timespending in my journey of searching my own way who am I, for what I do it and how... Thank you, Elina! ❤️ Hope to see you again! 😊

I'm so happy I got to meet you, Elina, in person - it truly means a lot to me. You've been my favourite illustrator for so long, and this whole experience feels really special. Thank you for making it possible! I joined two of your workshops, and honestly, they've been the best thing that's happened to me on my creative journey. I loved the mix of exercises - they were not only helpful but made everything more fun and inspiring. Big thanks for your kind, personal approach and the advice you shared. I actually felt some progress over just two days - and for me, that's a huge win. And as a lovely bonus, I met some wonderful, talented girls. I'm leaving with so much inspiration and hope we'll meet again soon! ❤️

It was a pleasure to meet you, Elina, in person! Your teaching style and communication are fantastic, and the various exercises you assigned were truly inspiring! Filling an entire sketchbook seemed impossible before taking your workshop, but now I'm overflowing with inspiration! I'm really looking forward to your next workshop, maybe in Italy! Thanks for all the advice and tips you shared with us - a real treasure!

I want to thank you for these wonderful 3 days! I love your classes and am so happy to return everytime I have the occasion! You do an unbelievable job, preparing us interesting challenges to boost our creativity, and take us outside our comfort zone, showing examples and sharing your experience, insights and secrets of illustration. I really appreciate how you take time to analise and explain every single work we do, that's so encouraging and helpful! And I am so thankful for the ambiance you create during the workshops, such a sisterhood of creative women, sharing and supporting, gentle and friendly! I am happy to have you as my mentor and will be happy to participate to other workshops to see you again!

I am incredibly glad that I was able to attend your workshops. I am always happy to take part in different activities from you, but this time in live for three continuous hours - it's magic! Creatively, constructively, attentively!!! I am grateful for the time spent together, especially considering your condition, I know that this whole event couldn't have happened, but you are strong and inspiring as always 😘 and of course I am grateful for sharing your knowledge and experience - this is priceless and deserves special attention. It was a truly creative weekend that gives energy to move on.

A few years ago, I was flipping through Elina's books in a library in Amsterdam, never imagining that one day I'd meet her in person - and share a coffee with her in Vienna. Life is full of beautiful surprises! 🥳 These three days in Vienna were absolutely unforgettable ❤️ The workshop was a perfect mix of fun, depth, and inspiration. Every exercise sparked something new, and the feedback was incredibly supportive and insightful. Even with unpredictable weather and last-minute changes 😅 of the locations added a unique charm to the experience. And the group - such warm, creative, open-hearted people. I felt seen, encouraged, and deeply connected. Grateful beyond words to have shared this journey with everyone. Elina, your presence, guidance, and energy make everything brighter.

Honestly, I didn't think long when registration opened for the Vienna workshops. I didn't even look closely at the daily topics before signing up; I just grabbed all three days immediately! I knew they'd be incredible and full of inspiration anyway, and there's always something new for me to learn with you, Elina ☺️ I really loved how you organised the workshops, combining creative breakfasts in the morning with life sketching in the afternoons. And thank you so much for adjusting our plans "on the fly" due to the weather - that made it even more fun! 🥳 Thank you for sharing so much of your wisdom and inspiration with all of us ❤️ It was such a lovely atmosphere, and I really loved being surrounded so many talented, creative ladies! 🥰

Thank you so much for these three incredible days in London! I feel alive again, have rediscovered the joy of drawing, and have been deeply energised by our shared creative spirit! A special, cosmic thank you to Elina and many hugs to each of you, magical ladies! Wishing you all to keep drawing every single day!

I want to say a huge thank you to Elina and the incredibly inspiring group of women who joined the workshops in London! I never imagined I could learn so much in such a short time - it honestly feels like someone hit the reset button on my life. Not only that, but I was in London for just 2 days, but it feels like the entire week passed, I've seen and experienced so much 🙂 I'd love to take part in the workshops again! Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you all for these three exceptional days in London! 🥰 I overcame the fear of drawing in public and learned so much thanks to all of you! Your kind and constructive feedback did me a lot of good! 💫 How lucky to have met you all, you incredibly talented and adorable ladies! ☺️ And how wonderful to have been able to exchange with you on many subjects, even very personal and emotional ones sometimes 🥹 And a huge THANK YOU in particular to you, Elina, for your precise, generous and gentle guiding and support 🤗 I would participate in any other one of your workshops! 😍
