Hi! Here’s my second experimental video where we dive into a full timelapse of my most recent watercolor and gouache painting (on illustration board) titled “I Saw You On The Night Of Kupala.”

This painting is taking part in the “Fable & Folklore” group show curated by Beautiful Bizarre Magazine, and will be on view May 4th-25th 2024 at Copro Gallery in Los Angeles.

** And please excuse my narration, again- Still using a $2 microphone and am staying in a neighborhood full of ROWDY Peruvian street dog gangs, and the choppy edits and cadence are due to me editing out every. single. freaking. bark. * *

✷MUSIC is by my lovely friend Polimana. Please check out more of her gorgeous tunes at    / @polimana

    This is so cool!! I'm Ukrainian, and I love that you are taking inspiration from our culture to create beautiful art pieces. I really hope that you will post more Ukrainian inspired artworks on your channel. Ukrainian mythology and folklore is so interesting and Im glad that you are sharing it and incorporating it into your art. Personally, my favourite myths/stories are the ones about forest dwelling creatures, especially things like the лісовий and the mermaids. I also love that our culture has lots of stories with anthropomorphic animals, which I think is very unique. Im sure other cultures have it too, but so far I havent personally seen any. Love the witch!!!

    I love to draw/ paint portraits. And this piece you did in this video is insane! Definitely one of my favorite pieces of art. And I really love the idea of changing features of the face to make it unique. Look forward to more art videos!
