"Choban-Kale western capes" Painting (quick sketch) Watercolor 39x23 Painted by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

    For some reason, sunset pink shades of the glamorous state of nature do not often turn out “decent”. In addition, to catch the elusive change in lighting is not an easy task - just for exactly 10-15 minutes. Yes, I set the timer for 15 minutes and then give myself a couple of minutes for the finishing touches.

"Choban-Kale Valley" Painting (quick sketch) Watercolor 40x30 Painted by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

Sunset sketch of the colored Crimean mountains. Colored - because it is all different in color and texture. One bald is the color of burnt grass, the second is spotted with forest and crevices. And so each one has its own unique color, silhouette and texture. The main principle of the artist: “Generalize and simplify" only helps not to dig into the details...

Thank you for your attention, interest and time.

"Windy Day" Etude Watercolor 38x28 Written by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

It seemed very interesting and even romantic to me then. Monet won how many times he wrote his pond and garden! It never came to implementation. Now I can cut out an hour for painting only when I take my children out to sea - to the same bay. Well, what can I say... something quickly bothers and stubbornly fails to write the same thing in

"Rosa Willage" quick sketch A2 test acrylic Natalia Popova - Professional Artist at the NewArtFest 2019 festival

Hooray! I finally tried acrylic. Somewhere here at the festival, information flashed that in some countries acrylic almost completely replaced oil. I was quietly indignant: not only had my favorite tempera been pushed into the ass, it also claims to be butter! And now I can honestly say - the way it is. Basically, I see that acrylic is used for decorative purposes and abstractions.

But I wrote a classic painting sketch and it can hardly be

"Gorki-Gorod" Painting ( quick sketch ) A4 Acrylic Natalia Popova - Professional Artist at the NewArtFest 2019 festival

Today I had a crisis. All day the head gets a little sickly and all the vital energy disappeared somewhere. Yesterday I received constructive criticism from the curator of our blue group @ivan_tupeyko_art and decided to “slightly” rewrite the foreground of yesterday’s solar study. In general, I rewrote it, but I came to the hotel and looked from far away... In the place of the open air there is a small piece of
