Thank you very much for this topic ❤️ i love everything you explained in this video! You gave me a lot of courage and clarity on things i need to start my journey in designing and to have my business. God bless.

Great video! Very informative 😊 I love that painting on the background! Are those magnolias???

Hi Darya thank you for these videos 💫A video about product development process for textile would be perfect ❣ Thank you for your time

Thank you! All your videos so inspiring 😊

Hi Darya, Thanks for this in-depth video on creating repeating pattern motifs. I learned a great deal. I was sitting at my desk with a blank piece of paper, wondering where to start, when I happened upon this video. The way you explain the ideas is very calming, and I was put at ease immediately. I will now attempt my new thoughts and ideas on to paper. Thank you again, Traci, aka ChinookanArtist

Great information ! thank you but please take away the music. I couldn’t watch to the end…

Love your shirt! Did you design it?

Thank you so much for your insight. I am from a design and special effects from film and broadcast background , so much blah blah. However, your input is so valued, Photoshop and illustrator are very different tools which crossover, no comparison you explained that quite well. I am watching for the softwares you mention. My plan is four different areas they will expand of course. Fabrics , commercial art and stained glass and faux stained glass sticker (money maker). Some hints in there, a swap of knowledge. Thank you.

I love Cat. I watch her Skillshare courses. She’s one of the best teacher’s on there. I highly recommend her. Elizabeth Silver and Oksancia are another two designers I’m subscribed to who are genuine people that really know their stuff. But, oh, You forgot Liz Kohler Brown, she should definitely be on that list.

This is so relatable to me, I am not a textile person at all, but I will subscribe because I like your video!

your design are really cute xx

very very informative

i enjoy listening to u. ❤

I love your 'not so junk journal' collection ❤

Have you ever done a 100 day project??

Спасибо! Понимаю что все это правда, но всеравно хочу быть патерн дизайнером 😅😅😅

I really appreciate your honesty. It can't have been easy admitting to making a mistake, but who hasn't? I think that what matters is caring enough to make changes when we realise something wasn't right. ❤

Happy birthday sweetheart!love your videos! ❤

I want watercolour textile design class from u

thank you Darya for sharing your story, it was so interesting - your new job sounds like a wondeful balance and source of inspiration !

thank you for sharing! very interesting :)

Thank you for this video Darya! As a longtime artist branching out into surface pattern design, information like this is so helpful and encouraging!!!

Hi Darya! Great video, as usual. This is a very interesting topic and the job sounds great, even if it's not high paying 😊

'More art retail revelations' video please 😂

Thank you for being so transparent in sharing your story. Several points deeply resonate with me and my own journey.... 8 years as a professional artist in visual arts making almost no money... social anxiety... scanning personality....

What a fun new job! So many flowers to photograph and paint! 🌸🎉🌸

Your honesty and transparency is very refreshing. May it go very well with you in the future, you deserve every bit that comes your way. By the way you are lovely artist and you have encouraged me personally a lot.

Hey Darya! I’ve loved this video! So interesting to know about your life and experiences and a lot of your story truly resonates with me! I have taken a sabbatical period to focus on my art - trying to set up a business but not too demanding a business that it takes away the joy! I am lucky enough to have had a career already and now I am ready to go back to working part-time perhaps in a museum or art shop, even a cinema… 😅 - if it is within your interests and brings benefits its a win win in my eyes - and less money in my view at the moment means less responsibility too 😊! Your job at the botanical gardens sounds like another great option I would consider now! I can only imagine how much inspiration it brings you for your botanical art projects! Well, I could chat here with you all day, much love ❤️ from Italy for now x , Alessandra.

It’s really really difficult and I’m starting to think that people that find major success are just incredibly lucky or already have money to pay for absurdly expensive ads to drive traffic to whichever site they’re selling on.

Drop ideas of the best part-time jobs for artists!

Soo…Darya, “the moral to the FB voting delimna” may be, that people are ruled by the LOWEST FACEBOOK COMMON DENOMINATOR: scrolling quickly, hardly thinking, clicking and moving on. The FB ‘world’ just isn’t conducive to a good/fair contest of anything, other than looking at many posts quickly! What more appropriate social media might attract more attentive audience for professional artists like you? (Try not to be overly concerned about users on FB. )

Hi I am from India I loved yur shirt design...u did the pattern I want to learn textile designing as an beginners Do u teach online? Waiting for yur reply Thank you 😊

This was super helpful! Thank you! So if you have a beautiful piece of watercolor art, like your Hope Floral pattern, that does not need to be color reduced because it will be printed via Spoonflower, how do you recolor it to create other colorways? Do you have to use one of the more advanced software programs that you mentioned?

I'm so happy about your class!!

Thank you so much Darya it was a pleasure listening to you. Very informative and uplifting ❤

Like to learn more about motifs and how do you use it

Which course should i follow to learn textile designs ?

Great video - well organised and extremely informative.

I'm having a hard time transitioning from pencil and paper to digital art, but I enjoyed your video in my learning,

I must say, your video is amazing! I have seen so many videos on CZcams but you have explained it so well. Thanks a lot ❤

Can you do a video on other pod platforms that you sell on please?

So helpful, thank you.

Same!!!!

I know Im late responding but this is my 1st viewing here. Sorry. I just turned 70 and have owned a lot of brushes over the years along with very large squirrel hair to smaller squirrel, and the synthetic mixed with Squirrel and totally synthetic to mimic squirrel hair. The larger the brush the less shape and spring you will get. That is true even for sable brushes. I have a full set of squirrel mops and I never use the three largest ones for that reason. Like you, I just don't care for a brush that wont start up. The smaller the squirrel mop, the more control you have..I love my two smallest ones. I have some squirrel filberts too and no, a large filbert soft squirrel type brush be it real or imitation is never going to have bounce or hold its shape when its full of water. The wetter the squirrel hair is the less point you will get because it holds so much water that the ends expand. The fine hairs is heavy with water! Naturally it will not bounce, but so great to wet the paper with if you do wet into wet. It really dies act like a mop. It will only show its point when most of the water is drained out. It's just the nature of that type of brush. As far as your kolinsky, sable or sable imitations, you just cannot compare that with a squirrel hair type brush. They do not perform the same way. They aren't supposed to perform the same way. God bless and thanks for sharing. I love your beautiful work.

Thank you 🥰

Your skillshare class was wonderful. I loved the few seconds of “babysat” outtake at the end! Adorable! 💖🌸💖

Hallo Daria. Ich nehme an, ich kann auf Deutsch mit dir kommunizieren. Hast du schon nachgedacht einen Lernkurs für pattern design mit System zu machen. Ich würde gerne mit patterns und Tüchern anfangen. Wo kann man die selbsterstellte Tücher drucken lassen? Gruss, Katja
