Color me brightly

  • I am continuing my work on house doodle, but in the meantime she wanted my attention: It looks like a nice sunny Saturday. I already finished my food shopping and ritual breakfast and coffee outing. I am just having a small rest and then will head out for a run. Didn’t mean to go running…

  • There was not too much time to work on my doodle this morning, but I am posting a small update: I have all the houses now, need to finish coloring and then to add more inky doodles. I started doing some doodles around the branches of the tree, simple circles, but they look cute to me. Here’s…

  • Yesterday I started another colored pencil doodle mandala shaped something. I had a sudden urge to draw houses. So houses it is: There is also a big tree there and we will see if something else will appear over next sessions. Here’s the full photo, so you can get a better picture of how it…

  • There is this lady I painted actually last week, but it patiently waited its turn to be blogged about: I used a reference photo online for shading, that’s why it is a bit unusual. I quite like the hair and background kind of merging together. I used watercolor and colored pencils on gessoed background. I…

  • I brought some smooth cartridge paper with me, so I could try my Luminance 6901 pencils on it. It’s A3 size, which is a bit too large for me, but if I fold it in half, it seems to be perfect. I could do a bit larger drawing than usual, and it feels good: Also, it’s…

  • Week 31 of Book of Days finished: I could have worked on the face for some time more, maybe it would look better, but I wanted to finish it today because I have other plans for this week. I quite like the look of her and maybe she deserves more attention… Well, I can always…

  • Another doodle: I used Stabilo water-based markers for the dots in the middle. I am not sure if I like them, as the dots are not really round because the marker tips are rather big, so it looks kind of weird. I am also not sure if the markers are lightfast. I assume not, because…

  • It’s a nice sunny Saturday. Almost hard to believe that there was a blue sky above those murky clouds we had during the whole week. This means that I will have to do my gardening today, no excuse. I don’t feel like going out, because even though it’s sunny, it’s very cold, so it means my hands will…

  • I did this one a couple days ago: I used blue, turquoise and sap green watercolors and ink markers. Today I am working on Book of Days again. It’s been raining for 48 hours, so no running on two mornings. Yesterday I went for a walk in the afternoon, in the rain, because I felt…

  • It’s been raining since last night. I felt a start of a migraine when I woke up, took the pills and now seem to be more or less fine. Here is just a quick update from She Thinks Positive Journal: These are the girls 28 and 29. These pages were gessoed before and I did…
