The Firebird by Masha Ksenzhevskaya

The idea of the design is very accidental. I practically had no idea what to paint. But I knew I wanted something original, something I would like to have in my house.
The most difficult thing is to start. But, how to start? There were different kinds of paints in front of me: oil, watercolour, gouache. I had the idea to use them all. So, I decided to start with the oil paints. The first was yellow. I added a little bit of the yellow colour on the paper. I was upset with what I got (to be honest, there were almost nothing except of a small yellow dot). And I started to spread it with a brush then I decided it would be much more useful and more interesting to do it by my fingers. First step was done. And then I just chose very random colours hoping to get the idea. After spreading red, seeing what i got I had the idea of a fairy firebird in my mind.

Идея дизайна очень случайная. У меня практически не было ни одной мысли, что нарисовать. Но я знала, что хочу что-то оригинальное, что-то, что я бы хотела иметь у себя дома.
Самое сложно - начать. Но, как начать? Передо мной лежали разные виды красок: масляные, акварель, гуашь. Я хотела использовать их все и начала с масляных. Первым был желтый. Я добавила немного желтой краски на бумагу и разочаровалась от того, что получилось(на самом деле, не было ничего кроме небольшой желтой точки). И я начала размазывать ее по листу кистью, а потом поняла, что пальцами гораздо удобнее и интереснее. Первый шаг был сделан. И потом я просто выбирала разные цвета, надеясь получить идею. После размазывания красного, увидев, что получилось, у меня сразу же появилась идея про сказочную жар-птицу.

About Masha Ksenzhevskaya

Hey! My name is Mariya. I am a beginner artist and designer. I've always been crazy about painting, since my childhood. Creating something very unique and different is my passion. I adore drawing something really colourful and strange. That is the best way for me to cure for boredom.
My favourite artists are Monet and Dali. I like lightness and tenderness of Monet's works. His pictures are very warm and kind for me. As for Dali, I enjoy his madness and the depth of thought in his masterpieces. You can look at these pictures infinitely. They are very impressive and make us think about so many things. In my opinion, seeing them once you'll never forget them.
Painting is a huge world for me. It can tell you about a person, reflect his character, depict his soul. We can show our personality through the painting. As every art, the painting is deathless. It diversifies the world and makes it more attractive to live in.
At the end I'd like to say that I can't imagine my life without being an artist. If I could choose another way I wouldn't change anything. The painting is my life, even bigger.
Привет! Меня зовут Маша. Я начинающий художник и дизайнер. Я всегда была без ума от рисования, с самого детства. Создавать что-то уникальное и разное - моя страсть. Я обожаю рисовать яркое и странное. Это самое лучшее лекарство от скуки для меня.
Мои любимые художники - Моне и Дали. Мне нравится легкость и нежность работ Моне. Его картины очень добрые и теплые. Что касается Дали, меня привлекает сумасшествие и глубина мысли в его шедеврах. На них можно смотреть бесконечно. Они очень впечатляющие и заставляют задуматься о многих вещах. Мне кажется, увидев однажды, их невозможно забыть.
Рисование - это огромный мир для меня. Оно может рассказать про человека, отобразить его характер, описать душу. Через рисование можно показать себя. Как и любое искусство, живопись - бессмертная. Она делает мир разнообразнее и более привлекательным.
В конце я бы хотела добавить, что не могу представить свою жизнь без рисования. Если бы я могла выбрать что-то другое, мой выбор остался бы таким же. Рисование моя жизнь и даже больше.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
