Merkuleva Olga

Merkulova Olga. Was born and almost all life spent in my favorite city St. Petersburg. From an early age wanted to learn how to paint like the artists. But life decided differently, and most of it I was very far from being able to touch my dream. By Fate in 2010 moved to live in the village in the Tver region. Steeped in the real life of the Russian provinces. Worked at a local village school. Met and became friends with the villagers. Great beauty of the Tver expanse stunned. The architecture of ancient churches and monasteries also captivated my imagination. The realization that once and Pushkin drew inspiration from these places, gripped his chest and made it beat faster. Wanted to capture all this beauty, not only in his memory, but in a tangible medium. I bought a camera and rushed with him through the fields and copses of the village environs. First picked up a brush and paint in 2015. This year it dawned on me that surely there is an opportunity to learn how to draw using the Internet. And "OH MIRACLE", I finally got access to realize your dreams! Pretty soon I realized that art is not a toy and must go through a serious training. It remained to find a decent and responsible case, which he serves as the teacher. And such a person I found! Painting training through the Internet from a brilliant artist, painter, member of artists ' Union, a wonderful mentor Alexandra Grigorieva-Savrasov. Thanks to him I discovered this wonderful world of the artist. Currently fully immersed in the creative world of painting. Working on a series "my life in the village." Also attractive the theme of portraiture, what you are going to pay special attention.
