Relaxing Botanical Art

My Palette Secret 🎨✨
Today, a little peek into my workspace. I work with two professional palettes:
Sennelier for vibrant, luminous shades.
Michael Harding in my pink palette for rich, deep pigments.
I’m so grateful to my friend for this gift! I’ve been using these for years. I love watercolor for its transparency, versatility, and how efficient it is — just a little bit of paint goes a long way.
Even without the tubes in frame, these professional paints are the heart of my realistic botanical art. 🌿
Do you prefer one brand or a mix? Let’s chat in the comments! 👇

Relaxing Botanical Art

It was the morning of January 28th. I was watering my orchids when I noticed how beautifully the light hit the unbloomed buds. I just knew I had to capture that moment. 🌿
I grabbed a sketchbook that had been gathering dust on my shelf for a long time. To be honest, I hesitated to use it because the paper is very rough — a texture I had never tried for realistic botanical watercolor before.
But the inspiration was stronger than my fear! I started drawing, and while painting that first bud, a new idea was born: let's fill the whole spread.
I hope this new series brings you warmth, positivity, and a chance to relax. 🤍
Part 1 is coming this Saturday!

Relaxing Botanical Art

Filming videos has become a real challenge lately. I used to chase inspiration, but now I’m chasing sunbeams and electricity just to edit in time. 🌤️🔌
But I’m so happy I have this hobby (and my fluffy assistant!). Art saves me from gloom and sadness.
Good news: The new video with this tulip 🌷 is in the final stages of editing. Posting it soon — if nothing interferes! 🤞
Thank you for watching and supporting my channel! ❤️

A little life update 🕯️
Hi friends. I wanted to explain why the new video is delayed.
To be honest, it is getting harder to film right now. The situation with electricity in Kyiv is very difficult again — we live without power for more than 20 hours a day.
I really wanted to keep the active rhythm I started in December, but I have to slow down. I can only paint when there is natural daylight, and the winter days are short.
But I am not giving up! I am working slowly, stroke by stroke, to finish the new cozy vlog for you.
Thank you for waiting for me and for your warm words! It means a lot. ❤️
P.S. If you want to support me and Masya during these dark times, you can treat us to a coffee (or a yummy snack for the kitty) here:

Filming day with my fluffy supervisor Masyanya! 🎥🐈❄️
She is very busy right now. I hung a bird feeder on the window, and she takes her job very seriously! She is watching closely to make sure there are always seeds so the birds keep visiting us. 🐦👀
While she is on "bird patrol", I am creating a little bit of spring on my desk. 🌷
I am currently painting this Parrot Tulip for a new cozy vlog. It’s such a beautiful contrast: the cold winter outside vs. warm spring colors on paper.
Wishing you all a wonderful mood and all the very best! ❤️

I want to thank you for being here with me. It brings me so much joy to know that so many wonderful people are watching and supporting my art.
