Set of 3 Autumn landscapes Drawing

Hi, my name is Anastasiia Potelova and I am a travel artist. I come from a small town in the northwest of Russia - Vologda. Now I live and work with my husband and little daughter in Portugal, Porto. My creative path, long and winding, is not limited to just drawing. I really love doing something with my hands - sculpting, sewing, tinkering. I draw my inspiration from the world around me. These can be the simplest things. Sometimes, in order to ignite a spark of inspiration, it is enough to see just a flower in a vacant lot or beautifully folded boxes in a trash heap. And, of course, nature in all its manifestations really charges me, that's why I love to travel so much and change my place of residence with pleasure. My love of travel is reflected in my art. I prefer materials that are convenient to take with me on the road: watercolors, oil pastels, pencils, charcoal. My technique is lively and fast, etude, without a lot of details. I graduated from the Yaroslavl Art School, where I received an academic education. To this day, I adhere to a realistic style in my works. But at the same time, I do not create in one direction. I really like landscapes, and sketches of people, and still lifes, etc. Creativity for me is a broad concept that means, first of all, creation. To create is wonderful. And if you create something, then you need to share it with the world, not being limited to the city where you live. After all, we live in a wonderful time when borders, especially geographic ones, are blurred. I am happy that I have something to share.
