You may ask why these three techniques. It's simple: dry brush allows you to paint a portrait quickly, working out the details and conveying the volume. Author's techniques will make the portrait spectacular, convey the character, achieve the artistry of the image.

Technics " pastel"will allow beginners to reveal their creative potential as quickly as possible! This will be facilitated by the richness of the palette, the ability to quickly select shades, the wide possibilities of using different techniques, working with large planes, small and large strokes.

Working with a portrait oil painting consists of two stages: creating an underpainting and working out the details. All this you can do under the guidance of an experienced artist!

She believes that almost every person has the talent of an artist, you just need to help him open up. With more than 20 years of experience in portrait work, she often heard the assessment of the audience: "You draw more beautiful than it really is."

Analyzing this, Tatyana Artykova realized that it is impossible to introduce people to art only through books, museums, etc. Being just a passive observer is a long way to discover your artistic vision. It is rather a way of turning oneself into a walking encyclopedia, a set of someone's opinions, but no more. By creating, a person is more likely to join art. It is through the practice of your own creativity! Having mastered the skills of drawing, under the guidance of an experienced mentor, an understanding of beauty will come, an artistic vision will open!

The idea of ​​creating training courses came to Tatyana quite recently. On the one hand, she saw how the eyes of those who observe the creative process of the artist flare up. They are filled with energy and it spills over the edge from how much they want to create something too. But, as in any business, a special approach is required in drawing, and it is not always possible to take it “impudently”.

On the other hand, I often heard from artists, when they are asked about the possibility of learning to draw, that this is a special state of mind, and an artist must be born. But Tatyana Artykova is deeply convinced that not only artists, but also any creative person, no matter what field of activity he is in, can have the privilege of “the ability to draw”.

Tatyana Artykova - video courses and trainings:

Free video tutorials:

Tatyana Artykova believes that the ability to see, feel and transmit is a wonderful human ability. She believes that any person who has creative vein must learn to draw in order to discover a completely different world and be able to express themselves.

But it is impossible to learn how to draw portraits and landscapes on your own, and even if you have great talent it may take years of hard work. That is why, in order for people to have the opportunity to reveal their talents, Tatyana Artykova began to produce educational materials, which contain not only well-known manuals, but also the author's methods of the artist.

Tatyana Artykova - video materials for teaching drawing:

• “The magic of pastels is in your hands. Learning from the greats ”the author assures that pastel drawing is the most easy way drawing portraits. It is this technique that allows you to transfer such portraits that cannot be depicted in other ways. In addition, drawing with pastels can significantly reduce the time it takes to create a drawing.
• "How to draw a portrait in a dry brush" course materials will help you understand why it is best to start painting using the "dry brush" technique and how a drawing is applied using this technology.
• "How to draw a portrait in pastels", there is all the information about working with pastels, when creating portraits, from choosing a material, up to drawing individual details.
• "How to draw a portrait in oil" - oil painting is perhaps the most difficult, but at the same time the most interesting way, which has many features. In her course, Tatyana sets out all her secrets in an accessible way.
• “Detailed drawing of a “dry brush” in black and white” Tatyana herself is fluent in this skill, and on the pages of her course she gives detailed knowledge on how best to perform this or that stroke.
