To tell the truth, art is a big part of my life and I devote a lot of time to drawing. I’m inspired by a lot of artists and it is so cool that there is an opportunity to become familiar with 28 talented Salida artists, absorbing with their own special energy and energy of their artworks. What impresses me the most is that I can appear in their unique studios, observing the process of their creation and learning a lot of useful wonderful information that can be valuable for me as for the novice artist. It is an absolutely unique opportunity to become closer to the art and it is the great chance for novice artists to become more qualified in this sphere. I would like to see mentioned artists and see their special approach to painting.
