Kassi is a creative watercolor illustrator based in Germany. Using mostly pastel color palette, her characters always feel airy and dreamy. You can find a lot of her creations on her Etsy shop page. I met her on Instagram, where she is very active, interacting and creating custom artworks for her fastly growing fan base. If you want to learn more about her process of creation, she created speed paint process videos on YouTube.
