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!

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

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.
