Watercolor painting of St. Basil’s Cathedral - Foot Of The Mountain
Hello dear Steemians,
After my yesterday post with my first successful Watercolor painting experiment and your support I was encouraged and inspired by you, my friends and decided to do another painting. When I read the tutorials it was one advice to do regular paintings so that what I was going to do.
While I joined Steemit, I met many different people from different countries. Therefore, I decided to do a painting that reflects my friendship. As many of you noticed Russian is one of my native languages. It played a great role in my school time, when I was growing up being able to learn Russian literature, that till nowadays I am really fond of.
My favorite poet is A. Pushkin and of course I love “Eugene Onegin” and of course L.Tosltoy and “War and Peace”. I am very happy that I was able to read them in original language.
That is why my second Watercolor painting I thought to do “St. Basil’s Cathedral”, one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world.
Here are few photos of painting process:
Also I bought a set of “Watercolor pen” that arrived later a day, after my painting was ready, so I decided to test them. Here are few figures of people. The grey.white one done with brush and watercolor, I do not really like it. The other are done with watercolor pen, in my opinion they are quite good.
Today the music comes from Norway ..... A-ha and Foot Of The Mountain
I hope you enjoyed my painting and thank you for viewing my post ;)
Beautiful, @stef1... I love the light and the delicate abstraction in the strokes.
I too am an admirer of Soviet art and literature. Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky are my favourites. And I love all Russian masters in art - Shishkin, Repin, Aiwazovsky, Vasilyev all of them - They are my art teachers :) ... Frankly I learned and learn a great deal through their art.
Thank you @nehab it sounds like we have so much in common, it is like we were grown up in hte same community by same teachers. That is great to meet you, my friend!
😊😊 Birds of a feather flock together ! Great to meet you too @stef1 :)
Hello @stef1 beautiful painting you made I like the energy that come form this art. My favorite of the russian literature is Anna Karenina . Unfortunately I don't know Russian but the Russian culture always attracted me hopefully one day I will learn the lenguage. Thank you for sharing your art I wish you great day.
Thank you for nice comment, I also love Anna Karenina, by Lev Tolstoy, we had to learn everything during Russian literature, I think if that time I did not have it in school then probably never have had read later. I am glad it was a part of school program. it is never late to learn new language, I really enjoy communication in different languages. Have a nice day too.
Amazing! Looks fantastic! <3
Very nice :)

Thank you, I also like the way how color match together
Я ждала этого рисунка))) он замечательный! А рассматривать его надо под "Рассвет над Москвой-рекой" Мусоргского! почему-то у меня именно такие ассоциации возникли)
Специально посмотрела Рассвет над Москвой-рекой" Мусоргского в youtube, действительно замечательная, нежная музыка с такими великолепными снимками. Спасибо за комментарий и за совет!
