ARTIST NADJA LEUTLOFF


Hi! I'm Nadja Leutloff. As a child, I dreamed of becoming an artist, but have begun to paint only at the age of 41...

I live and work in Dresden. By education — I am mathematician. In 2014, I left my field of work to create the dream come true 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 nothing is impossible!

I am absolutely convinced that everyone can draw and paint, because I have already gone this way!

It's an exciting learning experience for those who:

  • wants to escape from everyday and emotional problems
  • wants to learn how to draw spectacular illustrations
  • is afraid of "blank paper" and experiments
  • wants to learn how to sketch quickly and easily
  • loves to draw for the soul, but puts it off for some reason
