“My main paintings are cityscapes. I like to paint city life and try to choose subjects with contrasting or direct light.” – Serhiy Lysyy. The artist is very good at shaping the volume of light and shadow. His paintings always give people a majestic atmosphere that creates harmony and a feeling of peace.
ROSA is sincerely grateful to Serhiy Lysyy for his cooperation and trust, for the incredible work “Spring in Venice”, which is illuminated by the warm sun and immerses you in the atmosphere of the ancient city on the water. This work adorns the cover of the ROSA Gallery watercolor notebook in Anthracite color.
The notebook is made with a spiral binding type, which allows you to open and close the notebook quickly and easily, turn the sheets easily, and thanks to the fine perforation, each sheet can be carefully separated from the whole block. The notebook is ideal for working with watercolors, watercolor markers and liners, and can also be used for gouache and acrylics.
The artist’s work has always been distinguished by its attention to detail and ability to capture the atmosphere of the moment. The artist’s work continues to fascinate and inspire, creating an unforgettable experience for viewers who appreciate the beauty of the cityscapes and the skill of the performance.
