Hello, art friends ! I’m Ralitsa, a Bulgarian watercolour artist, educator and the person behind Ralice Art. I currently live in Basildon, UK, with my partner and our two little children. Before becoming an artist, I studied Psychology and Psychopathology of Development, and I have always been fascinated by the way creativity can influence how we feel and connect with ourselves. My watercolour journey started during the pandemic, when I was pregnant with my son. It was a challenging time, and painting became a way for me to slow down, find some peace and reconnect with the things I love. What started as a little hobby soon grew into a passion, and eventually into my own art business. I love painting nature, wildlife, seascapes and landscapes, using loose brushstrokes, vibrant colours and different watercolour techniques to create expressive paintings. Over time, I also discovered how much I enjoy teaching and sharing what I’ve learned along the way. That’s why I created this community! I want to make learning watercolour accessible and enjoyable for everyone, whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time or have been painting for years. My hope is that this will be a place where we can learn, experiment, share our work, ask questions and, most importantly, enjoy the process without worrying about perfection. 🌟 Now, I’d love to get to know you too! 🌟 Tell us a little about yourself in the comments: - What’s your name and where are you from? - Have you painted with watercolours before, or are you just getting started? - What would you love to learn or improve? - What do you enjoy painting most? I know that you have answered some of these questions to me, but maybe the other members would like to get to know you too. And if you have a painting you’d like to share, we’d love to see it! No judgement here. We’re all here to learn and encourage each other. With love, Rali xx
