  • She is little bit different. I wanted to see what happens if she had no hair, or very very short haircut: I like her. I also like this black (called neutral black, which is actually a mixture of red, blue and black). It’s Wednesday and we are half way through the working week and getting…

  • As I said, this week it’s using the new watercolors. This is the second girl done entirely with them: Not my best work, but I very much like this yellow (called ‘golden’ which is not really gold just hansa yellow mixed with orange) and red (madder lake, which is not really madder, but alizarine). Anyway,…

  • Meet girls No. 40 and 41: I did them before I bought those new watercolors, but they had to wait for their turn to appear in public 🙂 I still have to work on improving noses and mouths, as I don’t feel quite confident with them yet. I am pretty fine with the eyes though,…

  • She Thinks Positive Journal: 38-39

    Yesterday I did two faces in She Thinks Positive Journal. The first one I do not like so much: What I like about her is her expression, sad and pensive. I tried to draw an ear, which did not really work quite well. Not surprising at all because I never draw ears. The next one…

  • Yesterday was a great day. I did another girl in She Thinks Positive Journal and I liked her. It was also a beautiful sunny day and I went to the town with my mother. We had a coffee in a cafe at the main square and set outside as it was gorgeous sun and rather…

  • Here is a quick update in She Thinks Positive Journal: I am happy how this one turned out, all facial features being more or less where they should 🙂 It’s the last day of our long weekend, and I did my morning run in the sun. It was cold but beautiful. It’s still sunny and I…

  • It’s time for She Thinks Positive Journal update. I have two girls done over the weekend. I am not too pleased with how they turned out but I am reminding myself that this journal is supposed to be totally imperfect. So here they are: It’s a lovely sunny Monday and I enjoy it even more…

  • 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 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…

  • 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…
