Nice to meet y'all! 🖌️
My name is Anna Smirnova, also known as "wavesaroundme" at social media. I'm an artist, mostly engaged in oil painting and fine arts.

Here, on Bluesky, I want to show my life as an art student, and share my artworks with you. Welcome!

In our academy we have a course called "painting technology". We study in detail different types of primers, pigments and painting methods. It is a truly vast field of knowledge 😊

She can't hide a genuine interest under the mask of insensibility. Or maybe it's just another mask of her?

It warms my heart... Tender and sweet ❤️‍🩹
A new work-in-progress!

I try to make more art for myself, not only studies or commissions. It makes me feel alive, it's literally my basic need.

If someone has opened their soul to you - it's a bless. But.. what if this soul has been disappointed and decided to close in? Anyway, now you know - she's vulnerable.
