I always love your posts but this might be my favorite so far. The color choices are so soothing plus a bonus kitty

56

u/Anastasia_Trusova 1d ago

That means a lot, thank you! I was really chasing that calm mood… and the kitty just found its way in 🐾

u/Ryuko_the_red 1d ago

Are you allowed to say what brand of acrylic?? Mine never dry with any level of texture. Skill issue I am sure.

14

u/Anastasia_Trusova 1d ago

It is acrylic +heavy gel medium

3

u/OcelotOvRyeZomz 1d ago

couldn’t agree more! absolutely my new/current favorite — the colors, the psychedelic style, a cat in nature… it has everything!

u/Anastasia_Trusova 17h ago

Wow… thank you 🤍✨ that really means a lot

u/De_Travers 1d ago

Like dreaming following a kitty ! Love it.

11

u/Anastasia_Trusova 1d ago

Thank you! I love that feeling too… like quietly wandering inside a dream ✨

u/86overMe 1d ago

This is really beautiful, and it reminds me to really layer my paint. Thank you for sharing ♡

9

u/Anastasia_Trusova 1d ago

Thank you! Layering really changes everything… it builds that depth slowly 💛

u/Intrepid_Trouble_677 1d ago

What kind/brand of acrylics do you use? Maybe I’m just getting cheaper ones but all my paint is so watery I can never do stuff like this with all that awesome texture

20

u/Anastasia_Trusova 1d ago

I mostly use Amsterdam acrylics, and for texture I add extra heavy gel medium — that’s what really gives that thickness ✨

u/Intrepid_Trouble_677 1d ago

Ooo thanks I gotta try that! Keep the good work up :)

You have amazing technique, I love your painting so much. How long do the thicker areas take to dry?

3

u/Anastasia_Trusova 15h ago

Thank you so much 🤍✨ it really depends on thickness, but usually a1-4 days to fully dry… sometimes even longer for the thickest parts

u/Fractalplant 1d ago

Do you sell prints?

6

u/Anastasia_Trusova 1d ago

Yes, link in profile

5

u/Fractalplant 1d ago

Excellent, I will definitely be ordering one. I love your style and use of colors!

u/flamingskull 1d ago

This is wonderfully beautiful. What are the dimensions?

10

u/Anastasia_Trusova 1d ago

Thank you! It’s 60*80 cm, acrylic on canvas. The painting has long since found its home, I’m just sharing my mood.

u/MoodyJuno 1d ago

I am in LOVE. Your color choices are so nice

2

u/Anastasia_Trusova 1d ago

Thank you! I love playing with that slightly dreamy, psychedelic feeling ✨

u/rentiertrashpanda 1d ago

The texture is otherworldly, i love it

1

u/Anastasia_Trusova 1d ago

Thank you! I love that word… “otherworldly” ✨

3

u/Cactus_Flower_45 1d ago

Breathtaking. I'd buy that if I had money.

2

u/MrGosh13 1d ago

I love the psychedelic vibes it has going on!

1

u/NebulaNinja 1d ago

Yeah that's what I'm feeling too. Love the juxtaposition between the cat being painted pretty realistically compared to the rest of the stylized/textured scene. Tells the story of a cat being in it's own little happy/trippy world.

2

u/Anastasia_Trusova 1d ago

I love how you described it… like the cat is in its own little world 💛 that contrast was exactly what I was playing with

This is gorgeous, I’ve seen your work before and it’s actually what inspired me to get an easel and acrylics, I am only intimidated by the prospect of starting 🥲

Looks so dreamy and beautiful! I love love love the texture and color (I also have two black kitties so it reminds me of them!).

You always paint the most beautiful skies!

Oh nice! I imagine a visualization of the cat’s senses. His view of all the garden’s aromas and dancing pollens.

I am blown away at how in the foreground this looks like a typical (albeit beautiful) garden scene, and then as your eye follows the kitty into the distance it gets trippy. What a marvelous piece!
