Winter Stillness – Mixed Media Canvas by Margarita Shkludova

 Hello, creative friends! Margarita Shkludova here.

Today I’m sharing a new romantic winter canvas.

This piece feels quiet and reflective, like a paused moment in the middle of winter. Soft mint and frosty white tones, gentle textures, and vintage details create a calm, almost meditative mood. It’s about slowing down, breathing deeper, and allowing yourself to simply be in the moment.

For this project, I focused on the new Finnabair Ephemera “Steam and Frost.” These elements add such a beautiful balance of vintage character and winter chill — numbers, labels, and tiny details feel like frozen memories layered into the composition. To enhance the cold glow and delicate shimmer, I used the “Steam and Frost” wax set. Subtle metallic highlights bring the surface to life, catching the light like frost on leaves and flowers.

This canvas feels peaceful and tender — a little nostalgic, a little dreamy. A reminder that even in the coldest seasons, there is softness, beauty, and quiet inspiration waiting to be found.

Winter has its own magic — let yourself feel it.

See you soon!
