  1. Hello, I am artist Serguei Zlenko. Outdoor painting also one of my favorite subject. I am appreciate that you are publishing a magazine dedicated just for this category of fine art. Here in Finland we do not have anything similar to your publication. I am painting myself regularly outdoors when the weather allows and organising painting courses for my pupils here in Finland and abroad, mostly in the South of Europe. All the best to you. Regards, Serguei Zlenko.
