Hello everyone !
Im from Bulgaria, 23 y.o.
For about 5-6 years now im into painting, which about a year now im really making real progress. When i was 12th grade i was introduced to Draw Mix Paint and Mark really helped me a lot in my process. 4 years in academy they wanted me to do more "modern art", telling me that nobody buys realism art in 21 century, which eventualy i`ve felt a big wall blocking me in my path. Long story short - i never give up realism.
My motivation in painting is big to the point where if even a day without art ( looking a painting, reading about something in the art past and present ) is just a lost day.
Now im towards making paintings so i can go to a gallery and people to see me. I will post my paintings in "Post Your Paintings", so you can see them.
For now my favorite painters are - Alphonse Mucha, Sargent, de Laszlo.
Im happy to be here, because i love being around painters ( no matter what style they like ).

It was good to read your story and I'm glad you stuck with realism. Realism still sells. At my gallery realism sells better than abstract work. What they told you at the art school is not true. Realism will never die.
I look forward to seeing you paintings in the "Post Your Paintings" sub-forum.
It's great that you've joined us.
"When i was 12th grade i was introduced to Draw Mix Paint" what a wonderful time to be shown high quality teaching! The internet can be an amazing tool for showing our young people world class methods.
I will check out your artists later, thank you for sharing.
Looking forward to seeing your work.
