My first teacher of painting in 1970-s was Leonid Pavlovich Ostapenko, who studied at Vasili Baksheev (1862-1958). Ostapenko instilled in me a taste for oil paints; he taught how kind of the strictness I must have as regards to pencil drawing and watercolors. Landscapes of our native nature - are his inner elements, his flesh and blood. Side by side with him I feel peace and confidence as painter.
