Lesson 1. Vintage British bread bin.

ARTIST NADJA LEUTLOFF
Hi! I'm Nadja Leutloff.
As a child, I dreamed of becoming an artist, but began to paint only at 41...
I live and work in Dresden. By education - I am mathematician. In 2014, I left my field of work to fulfill the dream and become an artist. Having no experience in drawing, I devoted myself to studying the basics and daily practice in drawing and watercolor.
Now I do paintings, I teach and conduct master classes around the world, and I believe that there is nothing impossible!
I am absolutely convinced that everyone can draw, because I have already gone this way!
