Pastel and watercolour

  • Polina Kolesnikova

My background is in fine arts - this was very much my passion before stepping into the world of design. This experience gave me invaluable tools that I still benefit from today. Amongst them are drawing by hand, visualisation skills, as well as knowledge regarding colour theory and composition. My favourite medium is soft pastel, however, when I am sketching, I like to use black ink pens and watercolour. I am able to practice creative thinking and observation skills through drawing and painting, which is crucial for a designer.
