Gardening Painting

My name is Shiptenko Bogdan. I was born in 1994 in the city of Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine. Since childhood I loved to draw in my special notebook, where I liked to depict cartoon characters. Every day I draw, and without it I can not draw for me it's like breathing. Most of all I love black and white graphics and watercolor painting. Black and white graphics I fell in love with since the University, when I was a second-year student, we had a summer practice, we went out to draw on nature (plein air), since then I loved to draw the urban environment and everything connected with it! My works are mainly devoted to the urbanscape. And that is what the spirit of the city, delicious food, cafe atmosphere, the architecture, the noise of the streets, change of weather, crazy street bustle, rush hour, etc etc due to the fact that I paint wherever possible, traveling to different cities and countries when I eat, or rest, and so on. In the process of drawing, I give myself fully, entirely to the process, because that's what I enjoy and what I live every day. I love watercolor painting for its transparency, expression. Watercolor is a magical material, as magic happens right when you draw it, it gives a lot of interesting effects that the artist does not expect and he would not have come up with them. In graphics I love to work out every stroke, I like to stroke with very thin tools creating fine lines, for this I use ballpoint pen, markers and other.
