Welcome dear creative soul!

I’m Masha Eretnova – artist and educator, your guide in acrylic painting, gouache and crafts!

In this blog I share my 20+ years drawing and painting experience as well as recommended art supplies for any budget that I spent thousands of dollars just to try and review for you 🙂

I started painting at the age of 6 (in 90s) and I graduated from State Pedagogical University in 2013 and in this blog I combine my passion and my professional education to make it as useful as possible for beginners in painting!

I’m working mainly with acrylics but I love to explore all painting mediums – gouache being my favorite!

I love doing some hand-build or wheel pottery, epoxy and jesmonite crafts – I made quite a few decorations for my home.

I’m learning how to draw properly as well as I’m mostly painting.

Abstract Art

Abstract art is my passion and my way of communicating and interacting with paint.

I love working with acrylic paint, mixed media and texture.

I prefer intuitive approach and as an introvert consider my painting sessions a sort of meditation.

If you’re a gallery or a collector, contact me directly by email [email protected].

Some of my early pouring paintings found home in cozy villas in Bali and at my friends’ houses.

I’ve also donated a few of my paintings to raise money for a local school where I live after the roof collapsed.
