Sketch 24. Gdansk, str. Wajdeloty,” coloured paper, ink, gouache, pencil, 35×50 cm, 2024.
My identify is Tetiana Ocheredko. I’m a member of City Sketching Poland and City Sketching Gdansk. I’m an artist, animator, and illustrator from Kyiv, Ukraine. In 2022, I needed to immigrate to Poland after the battle started in Ukraine, forsaking all the things expensive to me. This variation affected my capacity to create, and for a very long time, I couldn’t draw or work on new initiatives.
Nonetheless, due to the nice and cozy help of the great members of the City Sketching Gdansk group and their nearly weekly conferences, I step by step, step-by-step, returned to drawing. This grew to become not solely an opportunity to select up the comb once more but in addition a technique to uncover new cities and the nation that has turn into my second dwelling.
My work displays the locations the place I now reside, the locations I go to, in addition to my feelings and temper. I typically use easy supplies like ink, pencil, oil pastels, gouache, or acrylic, which permit me to shortly seize the environment of the second.
A few of my works:
- “Sketch 18. Gdynia Orlowo,” coloured paper, ink, oil pastels, 30×42 cm, 2024
- “Sketch 4. Wisloujscie Fortress,” coloured paper, ink, marker, 30×42 cm, 2024
- “Sketch 14. The World of Style,” coloured paper, gouache, ink, 35×50 cm, 2024
- “Sketch 25. Sopot, str. Jana Sobieskiego,” coloured paper, ink, gouache, pencil, 35×50 cm, 2024
This 12 months, I attended the City Sketching Competition in Swidnica for the primary time, which was a major occasion for me. I created a number of new works there:
- “Sketch 35. Swidnica. Altana,” coloured paper, ink, acrylic, pencil, 30×42 cm, 2024
