• DEVELOP PORTFOLIO

At Mazilka Atelier, I teach drawing, painting, and mixed media to children, teens, and adults. My approach combines a strong classical foundation with creative exploration, helping each student develop technical skill, confidence, and an authentic artistic voice. Instruction is highly personalized through small group classes and individual mentorship.

My name is Anna Saade, and I am an artist and educator with over 20 years of experience. Having studied, lived, and worked in New York and Moscow, I founded Mazilka Atelier after moving to Zahle, Lebanon, to share the knowledge, skills, and artistic traditions that have shaped my own practice.

Mazilka Atelier also offers intensive portfolio preparation for students applying to art schools in Lebanon and abroad. These focused, rigorous sessions are designed to help students build a strong body of work while developing the observational, conceptual, and technical skills expected by leading art programs.
