Hello.

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

 

Peak behind the scenes

Salt texture! I rarely use it since I'm not a huge fan usually, but I love how close it mimics clumps of earth :D #watercolor #technique #illustration #forestfloor #littlemossbigtree #instaart #earth #artcollector #picturebookart #kidlitart #watercolorillustration #childrensillustration
Filling in the background. So many layers. I really want kids and parents to feel like they are looking at a forest floor. HAPPY FIRST DAY OF FALL!!! #littlemossbigtree #equinox #firstdayoffall #watercolor #illustration #picturebookart #kidlitart #childrensillustration #childrenswritersguild #crowdfunding #forest #woodland #forestfloor #artiststudio #watercolorillustration #constellation #peregrinefalcon #fallleaves #chipmunk
#whatsonmydeskwednesday it's that day already! Last weekend I was sick. On and off, on and off, enough to put a damper on things. But earlier I mailed off 11 dragons, and yesterday I sketched 11 more! Today I will paint them. Right after I clean and make myself a ginormous pot of tea. Speaking of which, I got some new Lebanese tea and it smells amazing! Hope it will soothe my throat. #dragonsforhouston #tinydragons #fundraiser #hurricaneharvey #floodrelief #watercolor #illustration #scbwi #childrensillustration #picturebookart #dragon #fantasyart #originalart #sketch #ilovetea #kidlitart #behindthescenes #wip #illustratorsoninstagram
Are you in the fall mood yet? We've spotted a Peregrine falcon flying up high. #littlemossbigtree #illustration #artstudio #behindthescenes #kickstarter #picturebookart #kidlit #kidlitart #wildlifeart #watercolor #whimsyillos #childrenswritersguild #chipmunk #fallleaves #childrensillustration #goldenageofillustration #peregrinefalcon #botanicalart #autumninnewyork #scbwi #childrensillustrator
Sometimes little things grab my attention - acorn caps, crumpled up leaves, color changes. I'm happy to get lost in them. I hear leaves are already changing at higher elevations :) can't wait for fall. #littlemossbigtree #illustration #leaf #fall #oak #acorn #autumnishere #fallleaves #behindthescenes #kickstarter #picturebookart #kidlit #kidlitart #botanicalart #watercolor #childrenswritersguild #childrensillustration #forestfloor
Can you tell I'm back in the studio? Tea - check, Little Moss Big Tree on the table - check, con crud - unfortunately check. Lots of work to get done for Kickstarter in Spring!
