watercolors

Paintings by Ljiljana Prelevic

I grue up in a great family but my love for art was always put a side not only by my parents but by myself too.

One day, 8 years ago, life tricked me with a question – are you going to spear your life doing nothing for yourself or…..
And I took watercolors did some nice peaces, than acrylic …..and finally oil was on my palette.

I didn’t have no one to go to for the classes so Internet and You tube became my true friends and teachers. As I like realism that only Old Masters could achieve – my goal was how could I learn to paint like Rembrandt, Velasquez, Pieter Claesz ….No need to tell you how often I thought – I cant do it- ….but I was stubborn and I said – Lily you can and must do it.

I am a perfectionist , art lover , learner I want to get better and better every day. When I saw Old Master Academy videos – my only thought was – these artist are reincarnation of those fantastic painters that I adore and admire. …
