Another option. I suspect not the last since at the final stage I managed to drop a drop of pure water into the sky ... Out of habit, I immediately dipped a napkin and gasped! Sanders, what's wrong with you?!? A drop penetrated the paint to white paper ... “Retouch” did not work smoothly - irreparable happened when applying water ... Here's a large grain of sanders leaf. That's why I think why he doesn’t eat pigment at all ??? And it seemed to me that I was about to create the perfect storm! Well perfect at this stage of my development

Another place that makes me dream is Lake Baikal! And I want to return there in the winter. When the purest transparent ice is laid out in incredible patterns and textures! There, even in winter, the sun is constantly and its light makes all this luxury sparkle and shimmer with dazzling colors!

Hmmm ... Of the 3 submitted for this assignment I had only quinacridone in colors. I didn’t even take Neapolitan with me - I eliminated it for soapy-dirty mixtures. There is no possibility to run away (the child is ill). So the result is a classic "chicken and apple salad" 😂

I play the waves -
I play the boats.
I turn off the day,
I turn on larnps.
Revelation pain
Like foam salt.
Sending away,
Dissolving night.

Irises by Elena Moroz @ihappygirl as part of the @watercolor_battle marathon #watercolor_battle_3 #royaltalenseu #royaltalens_europe A3 format, paper 100% cotton from the Neva palette (tested new). In general, I liked the paper. In the wet paint spills beautifully, the pigment does not eat much - in general, it behaves softly and obediently. It doesn’t hold the layers very well, but if you act carefully, it even holds.

In addition to the exhibition, Bazanova walked through all the exhibitions that were there. I was very touched by the hall with the work of Leo of Moscow. She knew nothing about this artist - he mainly worked with Soviet children's publications, and painting was his hobby. Some watercolors and illustrations are so moving, characteristic and with a delicate sense of humor that I decided to show them to you. Even in the artist’s photo - you can immediately see that a person with humor and sincerely loves children (at least shoot in a children's movie!). It’s a pity, I couldn’t take photos of many works - the glass glittered and was highly cheerful. I looked at his watercolors and thought - what brands of paper and paints?!? Never mind!!! The main thing is completely different ...

I arranged for myself a museum day off. Visited Elena Bazanova’s exhibition @elenabazanova_art in the house of the Union of Artists. In the carousel are some fragments that seemed interesting to me. I don’t post all the work - in Elena’s account they are of much better quality. Very impressive! From her work, it blows with purity, fundamentality with shades of classics - you can’t argue! She was associated with me exclusively with still lifes, and she has wonderful landscapes. If anyone in St. Petersburg can still be in time, tomorrow is the last day of the exhibition (March 1). Highly recommend!

A portrait on the air of Svetlana Chantal in the framework of the @watercolor_battle #watercolor_battle_2 #royaltalenseu #royaltalens_europe I don’t really like to paint portraits of such velvet beauties - there’s nothing to catch on! The result is frankly not happy. If I have time, I’ll rewrite it on cotton.
A year ago I bought Goznak antique paper with a watermark from the 70s on Avito (see carousel).

In June, the Biennale will be like watercolor painting in Alushta (Crimea). I am going to participate in this event. In the last biennale 2 years ago, I unexpectedly won the audience prize. It was a storm "And it will also pass" Now I have a stereotype that only the sea needs to be written there. I wrote 2 completely different landscapes in terms of mood and now I can’t choose.

Thank you for your attention, interest and time.

And I was drawn to the sea ... Write 5 work options in order to understand that the first was the most interesting and successful ... An unexpected result.
For the contest #watercolor_teleportation . It’s better to relax where the sea is. Preferably warm😀
