"Ashes of a rose" Painting Watercolor 18x30 Painted by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

Ashes of a rose (Remember where this name comes from?) Burrowed, hung and in every possible way braked. Some time ago, the theme “Let's get acquainted” passed. So, recently, a close person in a dispute that grew into a quarrel recently declared to me: “I imagined myself an artist!” And I thought deeply... I really imagined, you can’t argue. To be honest, I still think so weakly. You live for yourself and do what is “supposed” all your life: you study, work, get married, bring up children. And

"Irises" Watercolor Painting 26x36 Painted by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

Since it’s not possible for me to find the time for a full-time job, I will be content with hourly studies. Each type of paper is a separate novel. Then I got to the cotton baohong. The general first fill does not work, you have to bite. Or am I "unable to cook it"? But in general, for search and testing, it will do. While I had another break, I, like a crazy woman, bought new paints, brushes, paper. As if they are able to compensate for the lack of real painting реальной Nah! But they put pressure on conscience. Of the

"Mosquito Lupins" Watercolor Painting 26x36 Painted by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

A very fast "mosquito" sketch, performed, it seems, by the same mosquitoes Watercolor 26x36. I really wanted to write freshly collected Lupins personally. And mosquitoes apparently wanted fresh blood from the Crimea. Interests almost coincided. But I had to save blood, due to speed. In Crimea, when I left mosquitoes were not there. And near Moscow in a fair amount. But lighting and a strong desire to work in the fresh air ensured mosquitoes success, and I got a quick sketch. Next time you have to

"Cineraria" Painting Watercolor 37x54. Written by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

In Crimea it is called hellebore. For a long time I look at this lace plant. The result is still disappointing... Many now complain about the crisis and lack of vitality. I'm not an exception. Either the stars are naughty, or spring and vitamin deficiency, but my last “masterpieces” only upset me. Most of them fly into the trash. Distracted by something else or finish off silver with lace ?! That is the question...

Thank you for your attention, interest and time.

"Wild Peony" Watercolor Painting 39x54 Written by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

I painted this picture primarily for testing another paper new to me. However, I try new papers, paints and brushes almost all the time. I am very interested in how and with what what is combined, what technique suits what more, etc. Actually, what happened, I wrote in the review in the section Articles and in particular in ...

"Lupins" Tempera painting 40x50 Written by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

How cool it is to sometimes get distracted and "exhale" with tempera! Each technique corresponds to a person’s temperament. My impatience and temper are quickly realized in covering materials: I splashed it out, didn’t hit it - it shut it off and... endlessly 😂 Without expensive watercolor paper in the trash. But, like everything forbidden and difficult to achieve, watercolor beckons with absurd disposition and originality. However, I like temperament more and more. A huge number of advantages:
1. It dries

"Fortune-not fortune-telling?" Watercolor 28x38 Painting by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2018

The last gift of the summer.
How difficult it is after a break to force yourself to organize yourself for an etude! Especially in an apartment with two young children. There are no breathtaking seas and mountains. So the time has come for still lifes. Long time ago I did not write inanimate. Although how can you call flowers and fruits ?!

Thank you for your attention, interest and time.

"Under the southern sun" Watercolor 35x50 Painting Painted by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2018

The sun shines dazzlingly, my oleanders are in their prime, and the glare is so sharp and colorful that I betrayed something in the style of impressionism. It just broke through me, especially after the previous licked-glamorous version. I love to take on a not quite watercolor theme when light and shadows break the familiar shape in oil-like...

Thank you for your attention, interest and time.

"Summer" Painting Watercolor 38x56 Written by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

We are in the Crimea. How I get tired of Moscow! Despite the fact that this is my hometown, I gradually ceased to feel good there. Moscow is a city not for life, but for making money. They say it right. Vanity, crowds, dirty smelly air and heavy energy. It’s nice to be a tourist in Moscow - admire its sleekness, lively activity and infrastructure - BUT you don’t have time to understand that it’s not so easy to use all the benefits of civilization. Sometimes you just don’t get to the right goal.
In Crimea, too, is

"Ode to the outgoing summer" Tempera on canvas, 40x50 Written by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

My tamper version of the summer flowers, in my opinion.

   After a long watercolor period, I decided to "relax" at the tempera. I wrote with puppy enthusiasm and thought about the connection of temperament and materials for creativity. I will not be surprised if a horoscope on this topic appears soon. It’s even surprising that this is not yet (or maybe I just don’t know?!). People with a passionate temperament like me,
