We will also help you choose the paint for your works – some of them are better to be painted with watercolors, for others oil paints are perfect. We see that it is namely oil paints that Leonid Afremov used on a large number of his paintings. The artist was good both at landscapes and portraits.

The indomitable force of nature
The storm is most often followed by negative consequences, This is especially true of a sea storm that can catch sailors right in the open sea. And then the consequences can be the direst, but for artists this is an occasion for inspiration. What is so inspirational in these elements? Their indomitability, wildness, and uncontrollability. Although it is difficult for many of us to realize that for many centuries we have made very little progress in controlling the forces of nature, but of course now we are not as defenseless as before, but if a more or less severe hurricane begins, we immediately see the opposite. See for yourself how the storm begins and make sure that this is a bewitching sight. Be extremely careful! You should always have a reliable shelter somewhere around so that at any moment you can protect yourself from the weather. Having watched a little, you will understand why it is so enchanting and fascinating for artists from around the globe.
What do we get from this painting of Leonid Afremov? Excellent colors that will delight you at any time of the year showing that any storm sooner or later will end, the storm is always replaced by calm, you just need to be patient. This painting also shows that even in the most difficult situations we should not give up and act like sailors during a storm. It is always a trial for the body and spirit, and as you know, any trial makes us stronger.
