Each person sees the world around us in his own way. Someone barely notices what is in front of his nose, and someone with delight and surprise examines every pebble, every blade of grass. For creative people, this "Window" is wider than for the rest of the majority. The more we try to look "outside", the brighter and more interesting our work. I work in the most capricious and unique watercolor technique, which I fell in love with while still in art school. However, later in the university, the attitude to watercolors was frivolous, more technical. Often she was assigned a preparatory role for the "serious" oil technique. On the other hand, it has always been recognized that watercolor is very difficult. Today I can say with complete confidence that watercolor is the most complex, unique and

"Istanbul Night" Watercolor Painting 36x51 Painted by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

I was there once during a cruise on the Mediterranean Sea - sailed in the evening, sailed away the next day. This distinctive oriental city impressed me with contrasts, blooming sakura, a sea of ​​shoes in front of the entrance to the mosque and bright color. I would like to return there again, one day - it was too small and superficial.

Took a paper I’ve never tried before, Canson heritage. One store consultant called this paper "Canson's Attempt to Make an Arsh Analog." It is flooded

"Napoleon" Watercolor A4 Painting by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

Melitopol or Napoleon. That's what this sweet cherry variety is called in Crimea.
How disgusting to be sick! No - how disgusting it is to get sick in the summer. I don’t remember that we often got sick in the summer in childhood. In the worst case, sunstroke or indigestion. But snot with temperature?!? Whether it’s so hard for me, or suspicion and depression are still symptoms of this infection. Well, does anyone remember such rotoviruses (a mixture of flu and dysentery) 20 years ago ??? In general, my mood and condition are below the

"Bunch of leaves The smell of apples" Watercolor Painting 38x56 Written by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2018

These autumn leaves and apples do not let me go! You can endlessly write, smell and eat!

"Fragrant breath of Autumn" Watercolor Painting 26x36 Painted by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2018

If not for her bright beauty, I would not love autumn. The idea that this gray for six months is not at all pleasing. But how bright the foliage looks on this gloomy background! No artist is better than nature! To learn from us and to learn from her.
I think it’s wrong to prescribe something, and leave something white spots. However, the leaves dried and twisted so quickly that they forgot to forget the rules. Although sometimes it’s useful to

"On a platter with a gold border" Painting A4 Watercolor Painted by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

I missed the art festival Around the World... Yes, yes... missed! In some century, we were in Moscow in the summer and there was every chance... The throat treacherously fell ill in the evening on the eve and here you are - to get sick in the heat. Muck!
Well then. But we stayed in the country and the children do not crawl out of the pond. It was they who were frankly glad that I did not drag them into this hellish heat in the center of

"Red currant green leaves" Watercolor A4 Painting by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2019

This time she took the pulp and... rested. No - GOST 70% cotton, but it behaves like a true good cellulose: bright and does not like water.
For some reason, in our yard in Moscow we planted chic bushes of red currant. Many years ago I worked in a foreign company with one Englishman and he told me that London and its suburbs were planted with fruit orchards exclusively for beauty. Nobody eats the fruits - they just admire the gifts. Then I could not understand at all - how

"Autumn Smoke" Watercolor 21x30 Painting by Natalia Popova - Professional Artist in 2016

For me, autumn is a pacification and fullness of feelings. Not waiting with excitement (like spring and summer) - everything is ahead! And I live here and now - every warm sunny day can be the last and I try to enjoy it at 100%!

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

You write yourself on one paper and it already seems that "here it is!" - I understood how I needed to, discovered America !!! (usually the work at this point is already hopelessly exhausted). You take another paper and... Where are you my America ??? But on satin, flowers are always better. But for now, I'm leaving for full Nirvana when writing the leaves.

I wrote to order with the goal of "strengthening the zone of love and marriage" in pink in a certain sector of the room in Feng Shui

"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 ...
