ART-VOLGA Gallery - All Artworks by Lukashuk N.

ART-VOLGA Gallery - the only online gallery representing the artists of Povolzhskiy region of Russia worldwide.

Using the unlimited opportunities which Internet provides in the way of distributing the information, we give the Russian artists living away from the well-known cultural centers an excellent opportunity to become popular not only locally, but worldwide, by presenting their artworks in our gallery. It is the perfect opportunity for them to get new orders and clients, start new creative contacts and find new admirers. The main task of ART-VOLGA Gallery is to help the artists to sale the artworks presented in our online gallery.

THREE PRIMARIES Posted by Hello


Colour samples made from three primaries, Indian Yellow, Red Ruby, Hortensia (Phthalo) Blue, and in some cases a little Titaniuim white, all manufactured by Lefranc. I could have easily mixed up more colours and tints, such as red-yellow grey (earth colours) and violet etc. I have come to the conclusion that these three transparent primary colours are adequate for most of my landscape paintings. Some still-life paintings such as flowers, may need additional cadmium red or orange.

Any way, my French easel is much lighter to carry after removing about 10 tubes of paint and leaving just four including white.
