Hello.

I am Mariya Prytula, and I create enchanting watercolor illustrations.

 

Peek behind the scenes

Found a cool train through last year's burned wood. The ground was covered with glacial lilies and we saw wolf tracks, probably hunting mountain voles! The color of the nearly burned pine needles and the orange lavender of willows is so hard to capture. Spot the bear spray 😉 #gallatin #yellowstone #mountainart #mountains #pleinair #watercolor #watercolorpleinair #sketch #artistinthewild #wildartist #baconrindcreek #nationalparks #statepark
Artist point in 2013. Slightly different angle, and it was 40 degrees and raining at the time. Hence the fun water droplet blooms. Which do you like best? It's fun to see the difference between the two. This one is definitely more raw, but I can see that I thought about line in a similar manner. #yellowstone #nationalparks #nps #artistpoint #wildartist #canyon #wildlifeart #waterfallchasing #waterfall #thomasmoran #illustrator #pleinair #watercolor #plainairwatercolor #watercolorart
So excited to have gotten a chance to paint here again. The Artist Point overlook takes my breath away every time. Such amazing shapes and unique details. It really becomes an exercise to try to figure out what to leave out. Keep an eye out on my study of Artist Point from 2013 in the next few days. #yellowstone #nationalparks #nps #artistpoint #wildartist #canyon #wildlifeart #waterfallchasing #waterfall #thomasmoran #illustrator #pleinair #watercolor #plainairwatercolor #watercolorart
Mammoth Hot Springs is one of my favourite places in the park. It's so weird, so alien, and yet for some reason feels so calm. In this study I didn't want to forget the relationship between the hot springs and the ecosystems that survive and developed around them, so I went a little overboard. But that way I won't forget the little stream that runs behind them. Hot and cold. Creation and death. A matter of perspective #sofa2019retreat #illustration #pleinair #yellowstone #yellowstoneart #nps #mammothhotsprings #watercolor #watercolorplanet #pleinairwatercolor
Alas, it was pretty chilly on the first day we visited the Grand Prismatic and it was covered in mist. But on the last day we hiked up to the overlook which showed the grand scale and more of the brilliant colors. With @studiowondercabinet @studiocatawampus and @juliedillonart The red color is from extremophiles and archae bacteria. What do you think of the bacterial mats? Cool or gross? #sofa2019retreat #watercolor #watercolorsketch #pleinair #watercolorplanet #pleinairwatercolor #yellowstone #nationalparks #nps #wildlifeart #wildartist #americathebeautiful #childrensillustration #childrensillustrator #kidlitart
Went for an adventure in the mountains of the Yellowstone plateau with some amazing ladies. Can't wait to share the plein air studies that I've made and pieces this trip will inspire. #pleinair #pleinairwatercolor #yellowstone #artistpoint #artistinthewild #illustrator #childrensillustrator #johnmuir #thomasmoran #waterfallchasing #artretreat #sofa2019retreat
