“Gogi”, Portrait in Oil

Denitsa Stachowski — Sun, 21 Aug 2022 21:09:41 +0000

I recently finished this portrait in oil of my nephew. It took me a few months to finish it, though, and I almost gave up halfway through. The photo I chose as a reference is an amazing photo, but a very difficult reference to work from. I had almost decided I won't be able to pull […]

I started the year with the Strada Easel Challenge. I wasn’t sure I would be able to keep up with it but decided to give it a go anyways. What an experience it was. I struggled a lot since day one. The pressure to post all my efforts to Instagram for all to see, including […]

I've been obsessed with drawing and painting this past week. A few months ago I started this sketchbook with paper I hate and can't wait to finish it. The good thing is there's this sense of freedom when I'm not so precious about it. The paper won't take much else than graphite pencil so that's […]

Seeing the familiar streets that feel like home, even though they are not my home anymore, made me tear up. This took me by surprise.

I Started Knitting Again

Recently, for the first time since my childhood, I started knitting again. My husband finds that funny and a hobby for "grannies". Little does he know how "in" knitting is. 🙂 It must have been something I watched on YouTube. Someone mentioned it in a video and I got reminded about my childhood. I learned […]

I Failed And It Made Me Happy

Denitsa Stachowski — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 16:00:00 +0000

I had the brilliant idea a couple of weeks ago of wanting to hang my own piece of art on a wall at home. I wanted it to be big though, which is kind of a problem. Most of the art I‘ve been creating is in sketchbooks and not suited for hanging. I already […]

Life is slowly coming back to a "new normal" at my end of the world. We're still quite cautious with hygiene and social distancing but luckily the pandemic is not the only thing on my mind anymore and I've had enough other things to keep me occupied, as you'll see from my list below. My […]

How a question could change your life

Denitsa Stachowski — Mon, 09 Oct 2017 05:00:19 +0000

Jenny takes a sip of her coffee and tries to calm herself down. Her breathing is shallow, and her heart is racing in her chest. She feels mild panic and wishes she could just hide. Normally she is able to gather herself and give her best in stressful situations, but there’s no denying. She feels […]

Is your desk job killing you and what you can do about it

Denitsa Stachowski — Mon, 02 Oct 2017 05:00:41 +0000

Do you have any activity tracking device, like a Fitbit, Garmin or Jawbone? I love gadgets and data and colorful charts, so the idea of having one always fascinated me but thought I objectively didn’t need one. I’ve always been very regular with my workouts, often up to five hours a week so I figured […]
