Iris (2021) Peinture par Valentina Lazdina

I started to paint in 2019 after finishing my professional career in IT.

Before 2019 I could not imagine that I would start to paint , but I liked to visit the art galleries and exhibitions during my trips around the Europe .

I like the artworks of impressionists and each time when I was in Paris I  visited the museum D'Orsay .

Now under influence of the impressionists I like to show the reflection of the light on the subjects.

When I stopped to go to the office and had enough time to do what I like the idea to paint appeared in my head unconsciously. I went to the shop, bought everything for starting.

I found a lot of information for the beginners  how to start to paint in the Internet .

The first time I used gouache , later when I felt myself easier and more confident , I started to use oil .

I started to visit the private courses organised by a professional painter . 

Unfortunately the courses were stopped due to Covid spread around the world.

But half a year course gave me a lot for my development.

During the pandemic I painted a lot and developed my skills as a painter.

Now I continue  learning the different drawing techniques looking at the paintings of my lovely artists, such Claude Monet and other impressionists, Russian marine artist Aivazovsky.

I am happy that I have possibility to do what I love and express my feelings and thoughts in my paintings.
