The CODA Series

A series of oil works in an original technique, created as a complete exhibition.


This is a story about a world that has already slipped away from us. Not just my personal regret and nostalgia, but the collective memory and emotions of an entire generation. Yes, vinyl records made their comeback. But you must admit, they are only a small part of what was lost, and still completely different from what they used to be...

Sketching Academy

I created this project based on the courses I taught at Syn Studio (art school in Montreal) and all the private lessons I taught in my studio and online. Also, when I travel regularly, I always carry a sketchbook with me. You can find a lot of my sketches in the gallery section of this site. I'm glad to share all my sketching tricks and secrets with you. That includes both methodological aspects and principles of sketching, as well as other little pleasant tricks. In total, there are 109 short courses available!

ART MATERIALS

In my work, I often found that I was missing various art materials because they simply did not exist on the market. The best way to make up for that was to make them myself. We have created many unique products, and some of them have their own dedicated websites. You will find all the information about these original products here.

You can purchase them at WatercolorOnline.com
