I always was sure that I could not draw. Period. But never say never and in July 2008 I bought a pastel set, just for fun.

Now I am hooked completely, mostly by watercolor. I read printed and internet manuals, went to drawing courses, I practice as soon as I have time, learn a lot from my internet friends.

I started a blog www.irinapictures.blogspot.com to post the paintings, now I am on Flickr and Facebook.

And interesting thing happened. I planned to show my works, but now my main activity is socialising with my internet friends, so many nice, talented and sharing people!

I work in industrial exhibitions business, I live in Moscow, Russia, I like travelling, books and jazz.
