Wermaid Studio Nurturing creativity and community in the heart of Rolleston. Safe and cozy space for beginners, experts, and everyone finding their artistic voice. Draw often.

Draw curious. Draw imperfect. Hey there, I'm Anya! Originally hailing from a charming little corner of Bavaria known as Garmisch-Partenkirchen, I landed in the Land of the Long White Cloud, Christchurch, New Zealand, back in 2015. I'm all about the whimsy in life - fairy tales, folk tales, animals, and mythology. If it's got a good story behind it, I'm hooked. When I'm not busy conjuring up art, you can find me walking the great outdoors, nose-deep in a good book (preferably a fantasy one, of course), or crafting the next amigurumi or sculpture. I’ve been painting commissions for a lot of happy clients since 2016, mainly realistic pet pastel portraits of furry family members. Right now, I'm knee-deep in a series of oil paintings that I can't wait to share with you via social media.

Some late night sketching. Goats and sheep 🐑 I’m finally getting the hang of how the Derwent Inktense pencils work and I really like the versatility.

Here are tonight’s drawings from the Beginner’s Foundation Drawing course. We went over light and shadows and values today. I love how different everyone’s approach is. To draw is also to get to yourself better.

Are you more detail oriented or do you like to draw loose? Do you like to spend lots of time on one piece or do you like to move quickly to the next drawing?
