Graduation painting is a heartfelt watercolor artwork that captures the quiet excitement and communal joy of a graduation day. This original piece features a panoramic composition, where numerous tiny figures dressed in formal attire move across a wide, sunlit green space. Their long shadows and scattered arrangement evoke the feeling of transition—each person caught in a moment between endings and beginnings.

The soft watercolor technique and subtle color splashes give the painting a dreamlike, celebratory atmosphere. It's not just a depiction of a ceremony, but a figurative exploration of growth, connection, and shared milestones. Perfect for collectors of people paintings, panoramic art, or anyone who cherishes life's meaningful passages.

This painting captures the general mood of the graduation day, when many students in black and blue robes walk along the green porch, talking to parents and teachers before the graduation ceremony. This is a special atmosphere almost every person has in their life, and I chose a vertical long format that expresses the students' rush to a bright future, their enthusiasm and aspiration, their desire to look into adulthood and make it as interesting as possible for themselves.

Figurative Art - I like to draw people in their habitat, this is a city, street scenes, intersections, cafes. In my watercolor paintings, I show how a person depends on the social environment and develops it.
