Lotuses pond Painting

The painting depicts lotuses in water. Green leaves spread out around the buds. Dark blue water. Streaks of watercolors. Transparency of the paint. Soft transitions from one color to another. Large size of watercolor 55*74 cm. White margins of 0.5 cm are left at the edges of the picture. Overall size 56*76 cm. I wanted to convey the feeling of purity and beauty of these flowers, among the dark water. They seem to glow from within. I send this large watercolor painting in a tube. I was inspired to write this Picture by a trip to Hainan island. Tropical nature, abundance of flowers and fruits. Beauty is in every leaf of the plant. Abundance of lush greenery. We flew in the winter. And when we came back from a tropical island in a snowy winter, I wanted to transfer the beauty to paper. Thus was born a series of works dedicated to the tropics: plumeria, lotuses, fruits. I wrote in one breath. Lotuses are not my first work. I have painted more than 7 paintings in watercolors with lotuses. Some paintings are in private collections. What attracts me about lotuses is the contrast between the white petals and the dark water. How a flower glows against the background of black water and rich greenery. I like the watercolor soft transition in this contrast. I like the way dark watercolors spread out, creating the surface of water. I think Watercolor is the best material to convey the essence of this story. In 2019, I was accepted as a member of the Union of Watercolorists of Russia. IMPORTANT: the Color of the original painting may differ slightly from the image on your monitor. Since when scanning watercolors and photographing, the color changes slightly. And each monitor (phone screen) has its own color rendering. About me: Painting is my passion. Since childhood, I have been drawing with colors. I drew my first oil paintings at the age of 14. Now my works are in private collections all over the world. I have participated in many exhibitions. And every day I work on creating new paintings. I studied design for six years. But after graduating from the Academy of Art and Design I didn't want to work as a designer. I listened to my heart and started drawing on the walls. A friend asked me to paint the kitchen wall for him. We chose a painting by Salvador Dali that he liked very much. The result was even better than I expected. This was my first painting on a huge wall. And very soon there were orders for new drawings on the walls. Then I met my partner. We started drawing together on the walls. We painted huge country houses, painted many walls in apartments and cafes. In 2013, I wanted to return to creative work. I started painting in oils and watercolors. From 2015 to 2020, my works participated in collective exhibitions. I have held solo exhibitions in the halls of Saint Petersburg and the region. Some of the works have already been sold. In 2016, I started working with offline galleries. My paintings are bought in Russia and other countries. Paintings are in private collections all over the world: USA, Canada, Turkey, Estonia, Russia. Every day I work on creating new paintings to please you. So that you can decorate your home with unique creative paintings.
