I always wanted to be an artist

Feedback from IRINA ERTAHANOVA

My name is Irina. I am studying at Arts University Bournemouth, but I graduated from the technological university in a small Siberian town, in Russia.
I also have Asian roots, because my homeland, Buryatia republic has own traditions similar to Mongolian culture…

I always wanted to be an artist and spent many days in the local library reading books about Van Goth, Rembrandt and da Vinci. Fortunately I found the opportunity to work at one fine art gallery in Moscow and worked with oil, acrylic and digital painting, so, it increased my interest to art and gave the opportunity to exhibit some of my works in Moscow and Taiwan.

Now I am using mostly digital painting during my studies, but I want to return to oil and gouache.

I want to learn from the traditional painters from the past such as Rembrandt and Velasquez and increase my understanding colors and light to create believable worlds in my works.

I want to learn this from the Web Art Academy course and share my progress and techniques with other artists.

Thank you!
