Quarantine sketchbook vol.1, Elizaveta Ostapenko
Due to the current travel and communication restrictions, I am not able to collect new research material from the city site. Therefore during my stay at home, I decided to go through my old photo archive of found objects, street encounters, and compositions.
These images created a foundation for my quarantine sketchbook project which I would like to share with you now. I will continue working on this series until the end of the quarantine. So please stay tuned as I will add more pages soon.
If you want to find out more about my work, please have a look at my introductory post or visit my Instagram page – @liza__ostapenko.
Have a great day and take care of yourself!




All paintings are made with acrylic or gouache paint on 14,5 x 20,5 cm sketchbook paper sheets.

These are wonderful! thank your sharing..gouache is my favourite paint!!
Thank you, Cynthia!
Thank you for sharing!
I like the shades and forms, also, your artistic search through restrictions
which could be a metaphor, but are in the case quite obvious – the windows frame
Thanks, Nazar! You’re right. I’ve been thinking a lot about this “window framing”. I like how it combines the metaphor and the actual composition cropping.
These are so beautiful! A good project within current confines, will be cool to follow! 🙂
Thank you Taarn!
Those are impressive images. I like the “flat” quality of the space and the simplified colours. For some reason they give me a fresco-like feeling. The window frame is a strong metaphor.
It’s interesting that you wrote about frescos. Never thought about it. Thank you, Anastasia!
