  • Eugenia Gorbacheva. St Cuthberts Mill Brand Ambassador

    Eugenia Gorbacheva. St Cuthberts Mill Brand Ambassador

    The first part of December 2019 was truly special for me. I became an ambassador of an extra-class paper producer St Cuthberts Mill. To become a part of a company with such a rich history, dating back to the 18th century, is a great honor and a serious responsibility for me. Masterpieces of most talented watercolors of the world were created on St Cuthberts Mill’s paper. And, of course, I am incredibly glad to be a part of this big creative family. What does being an artist mean to me? It is happiness from the opportunity to express yourself and completely surrender to your favorite activity. It is a feeling of fullness and freedom at the same time. It is an opportunity to show a piece of your soul, your inner world, to other people. It is an immersion in another reality and a journey through different countries and worlds which I make without leaving the work area. It is investigation of the world with volumes, forms, and colors. Being an artist means to feel the space around you, feel the mood, condition and to transfer your impressions to a sheet of paper. You are most certainly an artist if it is sundown and you cry because have no brushes and paints with you! And you can convey all these sensations only with materials that satisfy all your requirements. I was looking for paper I could work in tandem with, paper that would allow me to gain maximal pleasure from the drawing process itself and eliminate difficulties that could appear due to its quality and some features. Two years ago I was able to find what I was looking for so long. That was Saunders Waterford paper made by St Cuthberts Mill. After it my painting (and watercolor for me is specifically painting, not drawing, as is often believed) has reached a new level, completely unattainable before. The first thing I would like to note when speaking about the advantages of Saunders paper is how long it holds moisture. With proper preparation for work water penetrates the sheet. This gives me several hours of pleasure in the process of creating a picture, in which brushstrokes give a very smooth transition from one tone to another. Depending on the amount of water, watercolor lies on the sheet like a velvet or downy canvas, taking me to another reality, another world, that is being created on the sheet. This paper allows you to draw air, softness of clouds and background, even the sounds of water... Furthermore, the paper can withstand a tougher invasion of a hard brush with strong pressure, to convey emotional strain and emphasis. This material can easily cope with sharp objects - a knife or a scraper - which are often used by watercolorists to create textured elements. I expect maximum productivity from working as a brand ambassador, because for me it is an opportunity to continue to hone and develop my technique on my favorite paper. And this is also the most effective way to give feedback and tell my subscribers, people who trust me, about all the nuances of working on this material.
