Hello & happy Thursday, folks!
Let’s get right into our wonderful Get Messy goodness, shall we?
My first page makes my heart sing. If my soul had a colour it’d be all of these ones below. Yes. Also, I think I want a tutu like this, and not just for Daisy bun.
My second page is a combination of watercolour hearts painted as a background pattern, followed by one of my favourites (hence the enamel word sticker) photos of my somewhat recent beach finds, some gesso on top for the awesome gesso effect, and some pen doodles/lines. Done deal. Keeping it simple, yo.
The two pages together.
And a sketch I did yesterday. Even though the weather wasn’t what I would call warm, I couldn’t let that gorgeous fall tree opportunity pass me by, so I braved the Vancouver autumn cold (it’s not that bad, really, but it’s no California or Florida) and made a little sketch.
Thanks to everyone for your Instagram comments. Your kindness and support never ceases to amaze me.
And, that’s it for today! Thank you so much for stopping by and checking my pages.

THIS COLOUR SCHEME, O. You’re rocking it.

*blushing emoji here*
Love all the colors! I want a tutu too!
I think it should be our mission– colorful tutu finding/making 😉
Gah, wish I had your talent. That landscape is amazing and while I struggle with the concept of ‘Art Journaling’ you had me at food.
your comments. I can’t even 🙂
aaah, those colours!! so bright and cheerful, I love it! And I just cannot not love a page with some Dymo lettering on it 🙂
thank you, sweet Kathleen! that quote is actually just a paper cut out from some scrapbook paper scraps! But I agree, it does look like dynamo lettering! isn’t that crazy?
If a soul had colours those colour would definitely be yours. Such beautiful pages. I adore your artwork. You’re a beautiful talent. xxx
Jodie, stop it. You’re always too kind, my friend
those two pages together are just perfect Olya! They make me happy!
thank you, sweet friend. I’m glad it put a smile on your face
So bright. Love your dynamo lettering. It takes me back to my chilhood when I had one but lacked the strength to squeeze it together enough to produce the letters. Your sketching is UHMAZING.
thank you, Sarah! that quote is actually just a paper cut out from some scrapbook paper scraps! But I agree, it does look like dynamo lettering! isn’t that crazy?
thank you so much for the sketches love. you are a kind human being.
all the color is exceptional. This inspires me to try and incorporate more color. I love it!
my motto for life is “always say yes to colour” because God knows rainy Vancouver can use it. Same goes for Seattle for you, so YES PLEASE, I’d love to see your colourful world. 🙂
Love that color scheme and those watercolor hearts. So good, as usual (:
so sweet, as usual 🙂
Oh my gosh. Your soul and mine must match because those are the colors I love inside too. Although I’d probably have a few streaks of dark cause well that’s me too. AND WOW!! To that watercolor picture. Your watercolor skills amaze. Sign me up as a big fan. haha.
yeah, my colourful soul-sista-mate 🙂
and you’re so right, dark streaks WOULD have looked good there! good eye, good eye, my friend 🙂
Olya, Olya, Olya, these are AMAZING! The colourful page next to the love heart page gives the perfect contrast and I love it! Then you go and show your landscape page and I’m sitting here thinking, you are one amazinly talented gal Olya!
Kellie, your comments make my colourful soul smile. Thank you kindly. *insert bunny fox hug here*
That first page! That sketch! Those colours! The quote! Exclamation points!!!! You have so much talent, I’m envious! Have a great weekend! xo Bec
oh you!!!!! (see what I did there? exclamation points!!!) 😉
thank you so much, Becky! you are too sweet
Youre right those colors are just too dreamy!
aren’t they? i think i’m addicted to everything bright and happy.
Beautiful pages Olya!
So much beautiful color! Is that water color though? Mine NEVER come out that bright. I’m really jealous.
I really love the juxtaposition of your two pages. The pattern vs the colored page is just lovely. Both pages are so happy too. I always smile when I see your pages Olya 🙂
