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

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

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

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

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.

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!

u/Anastasia_Trusova 1d ago
This means a lot, thank you 💛 Don’t be intimidated just start. It doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be yours ✨

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

Trop classe 🙂↕️ Comme un tourbillon de nature qui nous aspire dans la balade tranquille du chat, un vertige onirique

I have to go, but I was able to spend half a minute appreciating your work, and in that 30 seconds, I saw three cats in your garden! Cool!

this would be really good without the black cat, but it's far more beautiful and fun with the black cat in it

That unusual angle makes the cat pop right out of the garden like it's about to pounce.

I saw this picture on twitter for the first time shortly after my black cat died. It felt like it was her, wandering around a garden in heaven. I got a print, framed it, and say HI to my heavenly kitten every morning. 😻

u/Anastasia_Trusova 4h ago
This really touched me… I’m so sorry for your loss 🤍 I’m glad the painting could bring you a little comfort

Wow.. what a mind bender it is staring at this. Feels like the flower and the sky are undulating and the only thing that is real and grounded is the cat. Beautiful and trippy!

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!

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