Sunset over the lake #2 (2023) Painting by Svetlana Kostina

I am watercolor artist. I am inspired by  the world around me. Everyday life, country landscapes, seascapes, cityscape - are my area of interest. Especcialy I am interested in painting sunset scapes. My watercolor technique is wet on wet painting. For the creation of my artworks I use the best 100% cotton watercolor paper  and highly saturated with pigments watercolog  paint. 

My education are: Course of  Watercolor techniques by Galina Gomzina; Pleinair course study with Galina Gomzina at Suzdal at June 2019;  Pleinair course study with Elena Vlasova. 

 Workshops by worldwide known watercolor artists: Alvaro Castagnet (Uruguay), Sergey Temerev (Russia), Sergey Kurbatov (Russia), Ilya Ibrjaev (Russia), Eudes Correa (Brasil), Olga Litvinenko (Russia). 

I am inspired by  the world around me. Painting is all about loving something - a place, an atmosphere, a mood. for me, the first imulse is always light and atmsphere.  I Like landscape painting: seascapes, cityscapes, lifestile  in impressionism techniques. For me painting is all about expressing one's emotional response to the subject and converting something of that emotion to the viewer. I want to tell through my work about the beautiful world around, to share with others what I feel and love. 

I also studied and analyseds the work of my favorite watercolour painters : Watercolors by artists like Trevor Chamberlain, John Yardley had a great influence on me.

Watercolor of mine are in private collections at Canada, France, Cyprus, Montenegro, UK.
