Lyudmila Tomova demonstrates painting the costumed model

I jokingly call my approach “create-destroy-create” for this is exactly how I paint – an ever-continuing rhythm of gestures. My love of painting figures also translates in my plein air work where I almost always add figures in their natural environment. Some of my recent awards include Best in Show for the 2022 Suffolk VA Plein Air, an International Artist magazine feature with a 6-page article and many others. I started painting en plein air at age 13 as a student in the Special School of Fine Arts in Bulgaria where I’m from originally.
