My name is Mary

I'm very glad to be connected with steemit blockchain platform. I don't know much about this technology but I hope I will know more and more with all of you. I'm not good in English. I live in a cmall city in centran Russia and didn't study English well. And I think if I do more conversation with people in English I will speak more better.

I would like to say several words about myself. As I said my name is Mary. I studied as a teacher of drawing in university. Sometimes I do some art wotk with watercolor. Last time I really like oil pastels.

I work in different techniques. I studied sculpture, wrote oil, worked in graphics. Creativity has always interested me. This can be not only a drawing but also for example, work with wool or with colored paper. Once I made a whole picture of cabbage and other vegetables. Soon I will publish a photo report about that work.

Creativity is good but is not enough for me. I alway thought I need more education and I've got my second education as a marketer and professional in public relations and media editor.

In addition, I do yoga. It turned out to be a very important part of my life. Having a good figure before, I practically did not go in for sports. But once I decided to try yoga and I've got that it helps me to relax and get control of my own body.

I have a husband and a child. The husband is engaged in photography. I never wanted to study the science of photography. Once I picked up an iPhone and found out that you can make interesting photos with this smartphone.

The more I use this device, the more I like photography. I even think about buying more serious shooting equipment, but it's hard for me to decide on this step.

I love to travel. We often drive over Russia and Europe by car.

I want to show you several photos I made with my Iphone 5s.

The name of the photo is "Rock climber"

First of all was an Idea. Once I saw climbers climbing uphill, they literally soar above the ground, and only silhouettes are visible ... fantastic ...

To make this art I took three salts. For the picture had to sacrifice all the black salt that was in the house. It is a Kostroma product (Kostroma is the name of my native city), very tasty and popular among tourists. The second salt is the usual white salt. The third was big sea salt.

Climber: paper, gel pen, manicure scissors.

Planned. Let it remain a secret and a subject for reflection.

Shine. Artificial, specially directed to create gentle transitions, volume. Plus the combination of warm and cold shades is important for "revitalizing" and color spots. The sun, by the way, is also "natural" - it is a glare from the upper world.
Composition. Artistic education and sensations.

One more photo named "Rainbow"

This is picture of ladybug I made with my Iphone and special macro lens. By the way, The ladybug is sitting on my finger.

I hope my art will be accepted by the community. I will be very pleased if you subscribe to my blog. I'm just starting to understand the subtleties of the platform, but I hope for mutual development.
