"From Etude to Painting" - an exhibition opened in Novorossiysk, where artists decided to show how canvases are born

Novorossiysk. In two halls of the city historical museum, at the end of last week, an exhibition was opened. Her exposition contains works by the members of the Union of Artists of the Russian Federation of the Novorossiysk Branch. The name of this exhibition was invented by the authors of works included in the exhibition. "From Etude to Painting" - it is written on the poster of the exhibition, consisting of 43 works by 16 Novorossiysk artists.

Olga Luchkina, head of the Novorossiysk branch of the Union of Artists, there were much more works selected for the exhibition, but only two exhibition halls were allocated for their display in the museum. All the works worthy of being included in the exhibition did not have enough space in the halls.

For this reason, most of the works presented in the exhibition halls of the museum are paintings. The quality of the works is so high that the studies are not much different from the paintings. Each of them looks like a completed painting. For many New Russian artists, the source of inspiration is the nature of their native land.

The exposition presents wonderful landscapes with views of mountains, forest gorges. It is impossible for an artist living in Novorossiysk not to paint the sea and its rocky coast. From the seascapes painted by Tatyana Pavlova, Lina Kovalenko and Ivan Syromolotov, it smells of the salty smell of the sea, and if you listen, you can also hear the sound of the sea surf.

The works located in the exhibition halls are written in the classical traditions of realism. Only works belonging to Eduard Netrebko are slightly different. Using grotesque tones of colors, the artist creates landscapes where the sea and rocks are illuminated with neon light.

The exposition is available to visitors for about a month. During her work, Olga Luchkina will conduct master classes on painting techniques.
