Here is a collection of Oksana’s watercolor paintings. These are usually small still life studies from life or nature, common objects, and occasionally people.
Landscape Painting Course Assignments
In beginning of July, I signed up for landscape painting course with Justin Donaldson. So far, I went through half the course, and I’m super happy about it. I’ve learned a lot of new things which will definitely help me sharpen my skills! Here are the assignments in chronological order. I’m not entirely happy with…
Paint Pierre Challenge
I attempted my first watercolor portrait! 😀 I never really painted people with watercolors before, apart from princesses when I was a child 😀 This is a #paintpierre challenge by @artsavoirfaire (IG) and @theartsherpa (IG), I’m finally participating in things! 😀 I also recorded a process video, check out my YouTube to view video!

Rhino Soccer Player, watercolor painting
I have this idea of a large format series of geometric animal art, but at first I decided to try it out on a tiny paper with watercolors. Overall, I think it turned out pretty fun, I think I might make a T-shirt for myself with this rhino 😀 Available for sale! 8.5 x 5.5…
Geometric Life of Pear, original watercolor painting
When things begin to get too real, I seem to be slanting over to the geometric side. These abstract pears can be viewed from two vantage points. Is the pear being filled with color, or is the vividness gets sucked out of it? That’s for you to decide depending on how you see the glass…
Single Pear, watercolor painting
When I just started painting these watercolor studies, my goal was to get as realistic, but graphical as I can. I think with this pear I nearly reached this goal. I really enjoy how lively it turned out, it seems as if one can really see the volume! Available for sale! 8.5 x 5.5 in…
Three Raspberries, watercolor painting
Raspberries are tiny, but complex little creations. Originally, I planned to paint several more, but I decided to simplify the task at hand and ate some 😀 They were very tasty, and I feel like I’m not going to paint any more of them 🙂 Available for sale! 8.5 x 5.5 in (painted area 7…
Juicy Pear, watercolor painting
This year, my paintings are dominated by various pears. I keep painting them because it feels like more can be done or something can be improved. At the same time, I study the form in general. The question is how to make it more realistic, graphic, and vivid. This is the way to achieve beauty,…
Pyrogies, watercolor painting
Pyrogies with blueberries *_* It was seriously tough not to eat them >.> Available for sale!
Pair of pears, watercolor painting
That’s probably my favorite pun %) I think, I overdid it a little with the shadows here, but I enjoy seeing the way my paintings change and evolve. Available for sale!
Green pear, watercolor drawing
I keep a bunch of fake fruits on the table for the times when I’m too lazy to get an actual fruit or vegetable, or simply can’t like with this whole quarantine deal. I just turn them and paint over and over, all I care about is the shadows on the shape ^_^ I might…
Star gourd, watercolor painting
I wanted to make my watercolors more vivid, so this one turned out with fairly high contrast. Do you like when watercolor paintings are more subtle or vivid? Available for sale!
Duckling gourd, watercolor painting
Doesn’t this gourd look like an adorable duckling on its back? ^_^; I think with everything that’s going on, we could use a little of cuteness! Available for sale!

I’ve been trying to fully devote myself to art in the past two years. I’m trying to learn and practice as much as I can. However, workshops, classes and art supplies cost presents a certain financial challenge. If you like my work and want to support me, I would truly appreciate it! I have a few tiers set up on Patreon or even just sharing my art or social media pages would help a lot. Thank you so much!
