Hey friends,
How are you this days? Do you feel spring in the air? Do you need inspiration and support in your creative journey? (I do need sometimes)

I have some information and pictures I would like to share with you today.

1. As you may remember (or not) in the beginning of the year 2023 I decided to draw in my sketchbook as often as possible and started Big Journey Journal. There are my favourite winter sketches:

I've put all the spreads I'd like to share on my site, you find them here.

You can follow the project in real time on:

Instagram @big.journey.journal (in Russian)
Pinterest board Big Journey Journal (in English)

2. I accidentally discovered my old watercolor illustration. Here it is.

I painted these daisies in 2015 at the very beginning of my journey as a watercolor artist. I want to show it to you. It seems important to see the starting point of another person in order to understand that the skill will inevitably improve with practice.

And this is daisies I painted in 2022 for my Skillshare class Mastering Watercolor: Learn How to Paint White Step-by-Step Yes, this picture is simplified to make it easier to explain the process and follow the steps, but the difference is obvious.

So, please, keep your art practice. I'm always here to help you grow.

3. Every spring I paint a mimosa. And don't get bored. Such a delicate and fleeting beauty. And that bright yellow! Such a delight after a long winter.
This is the sketchbook page I painted this week:

And this picture is from the Skillshare class Watercolor Flowers I published almost a year ago. Over 1100 people have watched it since then.

I think today (in the begining of the spring season) is a good occasion to remind you about this class. Keep flowers in your sketchbooks, their beauty is so short-lived.

4. And the last thing I'd like to share with you is about my next class. Honestly I still don't feel ok and have no strength for the new big work (like a skillshare class). So I just keep doing what I can and love and am waiting for cool ideas and inspiration for the next class.

Thank you for your support, your class projects and reviews. I can't express how important and valuable this is to me.

Love you.
Olga
