Watercolor session

Couple days ago I sorted out pictures after watercolor session.

The groups were different in ages, so different tasks were set. Someone just learned to keep a brush and studied how mix watercolor paint with water. Other students were building their  project step by step, using their knowledge about wet paper or dry brush techniques.

For more pictures? See the Gallery.

As for me, it was  a meeting with a miracle again. The children's eyes are so wonderful when they  see the blooming flowers on the paper first time (watercolor on wet paper) or color change when they mix colors. Delight and disbelief that this beauty is made by themselves. Understanding that this miracle made by their hands - this is the birth of the Artist!

Merry Christmas and a Happy 2015 New Year!!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone, I wish you all the best, the brightest with a sprinkle of creativity!

At the end of the year we all think about the past year and try to understand what was most important. It just so happens that, for me, every single day was of utmost importance. Family, work, studies, friends - everything and everyone whom I love, filled my days with great joy. What else is there to wish for? To find balance and harmony, with enough strength and energy to share with everyone and everything. That I wish to you all!!! And yet the world of good, well-being and health. And as it was once said by the Strugatsky brothers: "Happiness, to all! Chargeless! And none shall leave in sorrow!"

And now, a bit of my own happiness for you, catch ...
