Music is pouring from somewhere. I listen and suddenly realize with a smile that playing something from the 70s of the last century. Involuntarily comes to mind, if you suddenly find yourself in a time machine to the past, once in the encampment of hippies with their careful attitude to the surrounding world, the friendliness and the General atmosphere around. Fortunately there are other reasons to compare: many girls go in long dresses to the ankle, and the guys wear long hair, or assorted barbs.
A SMALL note: for 4 consecutive years in a magnificent historic place – the village Khotylevo Bryansk region – is this wonderful cultural event. The name of the holiday is taken not "from the ceiling", but takes roots from the nature of local archaeological excavations. Incredibly, it is here that mammoth bones are still dug up, and everyone can see this by visiting the tour to the excavation!
Patrons Tenisheva lived here, taking in his estate of famous artists, writers, poets and philosophers of his time. So the place really breathes magic and history, so it was decided to make such an original and sincere festival here. The goals of "Bryansk Mammoth 2019" are:
• promoting the values of a sober, healthy and positive lifestyle;
• popularization of natural relationships between people and nature;
• familiarity with the original music, crafts, practices;
On the territory of the festival "Bryansk Mammoth" is forbidden to smoke, drink alcohol and drugs.
So it was my turn to hold a drawing lesson – the appointed time came. Here I am already waiting, because many people have already looked at the upcoming maser class in social networks and come here. The organizers provided information about the lesson in "Vkontakte", where I applied in advance, and here I sit in the center of the circle, bring guests up to date and distribute drawing supplies. Class has started.
In fact, I expected that there will be more adults, because I wrote in advance in the announcement – the lesson will not be for kids, but to my surprise, the main contingent for some reason were children. In General, it's okay, because I have a wealth of experience teaching drawing to children, both in groups and individually.
Paper, pencils and paint with brushes dispersed instantly. It's a good thing I thought it through, and there were no bumps. In the course explain the lesson by example because doing the whole process with them.
It's nice to see people's faces. Everyone is very interested, ask questions, listen very carefully and try to repeat and follow my instructions. Unfortunately, I almost did not have time to shoot on the phone most of the finished work. But among them were many very interesting and well done. It's nice to know that the lesson was fruitful and all visitors received a lot of useful information for drawing with watercolor paints.
But now, it's time to wrap up. I have another art event scheduled today, so I'm in a hurry to get back home. It's a little sad, because then I was told how people sat around the campfire in the evening, played guitars and had interesting conversations on philosophical topics. Oh, maybe next year I'll be here for the night.
I was taken back by some friends who gathered in Bryansk. But if someone wanted to leave on their own, there were several taxis. Not very frequent, but several buses regularly cruised along the route "Bryansk mammoth – Plane near the "Line".
If anyone is interested to read more about this festival, you can find a page "Vkontakte" or other social networks. Also a lot of information on the Internet, which is available to all. If you like a healthy lifestyle and outdoor recreation, be sure to visit this event next year. See you at the Bryansk mammoth 2020!
