"The wall was like a huge white canvas so I painted on it; here is the process".
Olga Sorokina

You told me you love to see my process of drawing, so here is how I painted an art wall in my house.

...Magic and wonder of New Zealand bush, the flight of a tui bird, disk of the sun — I brought all of these to live in my home.

This wall painting was a project for the birth of my baby; I aimed to create something unique.

I decided to dedicate 10-15 min a day every morning. Before everything else took off, I was in pure bliss, creativity, special moments. Felt so happy while drawing this art piece.

I didn’t know how to finish it for a week and went for a yoga retreat in Coromandel, New Zealand.

After spending 3 days in nature, filling my eyes with one of the most stunning landscape views on our planet, practicing hours of yoga and meditations, waking up before dawn, sitting next to a fireplace at 6 am while sipping my ginger-lemon-mint tea, while waiting for my morning yoga class to start.

Hiking in the bush accompanied by birds, kereru clunky flight, and pheasants in the background. Making new connections, having great deep conversations — all of it reset have my system.

When I was back home, I knew how to finish the wall.

Each time I look at the painting — it gives me energy; it grounds me, not to say that it creates a focal point in my living room in terms of interior design.
