Watercolor Postcards
“Faces” is a collection of original watercolor postcards by artist Katerina Krjanina. Each postcard features a unique face painted in watercolor, capturing different expressions, moods, and personalities.
Katerina uses soft colors, delicate brushwork, and simple details to bring each face to life. Every postcard is an original small artwork that can be collected, displayed, gifted, or sent as a personal message. The “Faces” series celebrates the beauty and individuality of people through simple and expressive watercolor paintings.
With every watercolor postcard, the artist expresses her emotions, thoughts, and personal inner world. Each small painting reflects a moment, a feeling, or an impression, allowing the viewer to connect with the artist through color, expression, and delicate watercolor details.
Postcard’s Details
Each watercolor postcard is created using a delicate combination of watercolor and fine ink details. Katerina Krjanina begins with transparent watercolor washes, allowing the colors to flow naturally and blend softly into one another. The layers of watercolor create subtle variations in tone, light, and shadow, giving each face a gentle and expressive quality.
After the watercolor has dried, the artist uses fine ink lines to highlight and define selected details. The ink may emphasize the eyes, facial features, hair, contours, or other small elements of the composition. These precise lines add definition and character while creating an interesting contrast with the softness and transparency of the watercolor.
The combination of flowing watercolor and delicate ink creates a unique balance between softness and precision. The watercolor conveys the mood and emotion, while the ink brings attention to the details that make each face distinctive. Because of this technique, every postcard has its own individual character and artistic expression.
About Gold Accents in Watercolor Art
The artist has a special love for gold and shimmering colors, which she often incorporates into her watercolor postcards as delicate artistic accents. Small touches of gold add warmth, light, and a subtle sense of magic to each painting without taking away from the softness of the watercolor.
The shimmer may appear in small details, highlights, or carefully selected areas of the composition, catching the light differently as the postcard is viewed from different angles. These subtle accents give the paintings an additional dimension and make each piece feel special and unique.
