ARTIST BLANCA ALVAREZ (BLANCA MARÍA ALVAREZ SANCHEZ)
WATERCOLOR
"Мне like to be happy when I am painting, that I wanted to dance and sing!" – these are the words of the young artist Blanca Alvarez. She loves the bright colors, the sea and native Spanish courtyards, and she knows exactly how to start doing things you love and succeed.
Blanca Alvarez tells us how did her passion for the art of watercolor :"Начну with, that will tell you how my life led to the fact that I was drawing. I"m from Malaga city in southern Spain, and from childhood I liked to draw. My parents worked for a long time in different cities and often they weren"t there. I really missed him. To distract me, they gave me pencils. And I always liked to draw.
16 I started to study at the Academy of art, studying technique, and made many drawings. My teacher taught me a lot, including how important the sketch. For me, the essence of watercolour is just a sketch. You can have a great watercolor technique, but it will not work, if the picture failed. And then you can develop, look into what-то their own, to try."
"Я think it"s important to be able to draw. I was a little drawn butter, but then fell in love with watercolor. Since childhood, I have always said that when I grow up, I want to be an artist, but went to University, studied Economics. I do not know as in Russia, and in Spain always say that you need a proper serious work. And I decided that I would draw in my spare time. I graduated from University and started to work, but I also draw at home and in the open air, and participated in various competitions. Then I started to learn to counsel, because he still wasn"t sure what I wanted to do. 10 percent of my time I devoted to painting, and 90 – job search. What-то moment I thought: what if I"m going to spend more time drawing and less work? It was hard for me to make such a decision, it was scary.
– As-то times, one gallery in our city asked me to organize an exhibition. I had a year to prepare for it. Then I stopped working and started just drawing. This moment coincided with the economic crisis in Europe and particularly in Spain, the work was not easy to find, and for me it was a great opportunity. The exhibition was very good and I decided to participate in the watercolor conference in France. And so, from one event to the next, and now five years have passed since my first exhibition, and now I"m here in Moscow. 29 years and finally-то success! Yes, sometimes say, what madness to be painting@the semicolon need to find a real job, a career! But I could never imagine that when-нибудь will be here that will travel. Now I"m happy and have no regrets."
