Since I have a lot of travel planned, it proved to be difficult to draw ever day even a tiny bit. Sometimes, I don’t even feel like lifting a pencil when I get back to the hotel. Then, I realized! I do get some free time whenever I wait for food or drink a cup of coffee. In this case the subject is not a problem either, because most restaurants and cafe have unique interior elements.

In this sketch, the top left lilies is actually a perspective and warm up exercise. The lamp and the ornament are a part of the restaurant. Have you ever noticed how many different types of light fixtures there are? The functionality is the same, but they are all different. It’s amazing! 🙂

Hi! My name is Oksana Ossipov, and I’m a visual artist and photographer. I was born in Ukraine and currently reside in the area of Dallas, Texas. My formal education includes a BFA in Digital Media Art from San Jose State University. After moving to Texas, I started to focus on my fine art skills and figurative art in particular. I studied for 5 years under Michael Mentler at the Society of Figurative Arts. Through my life, I’ve also acquired a multitude of skills that include web development, sculpting, photography, art studio and business management, and baking awesome blueberry scones! I’ve been trying to fully devote myself to the art over the past few years. I’m trying to learn and practice as much as I can. However, the workshop, class, and art supply costs present a certain financial challenge. If you like my work and want to support me, I would truly appreciate it! I have a shop full of artworks and creations, but even just sharing my art or social media pages would help a lot. Thank you so much!
