Color me brightly

  • 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…

  • Ok, I am in a Book of Days mood this week. I finished Week 38 yesterday: Used acrylics and hot glue gun stencil for background, star stencils and heart mask (which I cut from paper) in the foreground. I colored the stars with Sakura Glaze pen in yellow, added black lines with Edding black paint marker…

  • Finally, I felt inspired to dive into Book of Days. I missed most of the course, but that’s ok. I will catch up eventually, I think 🙂 This is Week 40. Done with acrylics, sakura glaze pen in black, Faber Castell Pitt markers in red and yellow, Edding paint marker in black and white acrylic…

  • Another quick one because I am travelling today and have to start packing. I’ve been impressed by autumnal colors obviously. They are so amazing!  I’ve been working on other pieces too this morning, some watercolor doodles and faces. But more about those next week. Enjoy your Sunday, nice people!

  • Just a quick one for today: It’s the one I mentioned yesterday. I started it with crappy pencils and finished with the Luminance. I am off to start a new one and then go to the organic market and have all the usual Saturday fun. Have a happy Saturday! 

  • I had a very long meeting on Wednesday, so I did some doodles in my Play Journal. I used only ballpoint pen. The photo is not so great, I took it this morning when it was still dark outside, so it’s under the lamp. You get an idea of the conditions under which I create…

  • Lately I’ve been obsessed with watercolor and ink doodles like this one: I did it today, recorded it and video is now processing as I write this. I did upload to my shop on Redbubble, have a look, it’s really cool. There is another one that I did yesterday. Here’s the video of the process.…

  • As with most other lessons in Life Book, I struggled to make myself start this one. Once I started however, it went great. I managed to draw the face of my ‘muse’ with a marker without drawing it with a pencil first! And it looked totally ok! YAY! This lesson was not meant to be focused…
