ART SCHOOL SKETCHBOOK TOUR ⋆⁺⏾
Join me as I flip through pages filled with doodles, experiments, and personal creations-some I love, and some that show the messy, real side of being an illustration student. Let's talk about the highs, the flops, and everything in between in this honest and artsy tour!

    • @_paganka_
      @_paganka_ 10 місяців тому

      Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment! It warms my heart 🌹 About the research question - I usually read and look for the right story that touches something in my soul and sparks the passion in me to create. Then I start to research more in depth about the culture that inspires me - the correct clothings, the traditions connected, the art, and as much as I can understand about the mindset and world view. looking through different resources and documentations of the story is very important to me as well, for credibility. I hope one day to visit the homelands of the cultures I’ve felt connection to, and if I’m lucky enough to listen to the stories straight from the storytellers, until then - I have my books, interviews, my family (for the Slavic part) and google scholar :)

    Hi Anastasia, my name is Debbie. I’m so happy to met you on your channel. I live in northern Vermont in the USA. Do you mind that I ask where do you live? I loved your painting. I too am inspired by everything about Jonna Jinton . I think her art is extraordinarily beautiful. I have been processing rock pigments now for 3 years. I make a gum Arabic solution as my medium to make watercolor paint it’s more like gouache. I think I would like to try painting on a canvas. I’d like to know what you use for your medium. I hope you have a real nice day and I look forward to seeing more videos from you. 🤗

      Hello Debbie:) Thank you for your lovely comment 🌹 Jonna is a huge inspiration to me, and it’s nice to meet another soul affected by her energy! The medium I use is a pouring medium, it was the only medium at my local art shop and it gave the effect that I wanted:) The technique you use sound so interesting, would love to see it! And to your question, I’m from Israel, born in Ukraine, times are rough now so creating these videos is a little escapist haven to me🙏🏼✨ I hope you have a great time of the day as well, it’s amazing that you are from such a far part of the world, yet you found this video:) See you around 🥹🌹
