I've been painting since January 2016.
I started out by following the video lessons of Igor Saharov. I also learned a lot from different artists I came across on the web -- Sergey Temerev, Georgii Dmitriev, Andrei Kulagin, Maire Pyykko, and others.
I like classical artists like Turner and Monet, and contemporary artists like Herman Pekel, Joseph Zbukvic, Afremov, and Maja Wrońska.
Now, I'm trying to paint my own pieces in different techniques -- oil, watercolor, and pastel.
