  • I did not tell you, but my migraines are back. I stopped taking the herbal supplement that I was taking for more than 6 months and now I have to deal with pain again. Anyway, they are not as bad as they used to be, so I do not need so many painkillers and I…

  • This is what I was up to these three last days: It combines my two favorite things: watercolor and doodling. My mood is not too happy and I think it’s due to weather. Well, the weather is nice enough, but it’s got cold and the house has cooled down and cold makes me miserable. Nothing…

  • I love Vitamin Sea course with Jane Davenport! The lessons are full of challenging content and bonuses and I am really learning and pushing my boundaries. I often feel out of comfort zone, which is unsettling and scary but so rewarding when I dive into it and experience the feeling of being able to do…

  • I was not excited about the last week’s bonus lesson in Life Book, but it was doable and I hate skipping lessons (until now I skipped only one), so here it is: I think it’s very obvious that I did not put much effort, but the point was not so much about drawing and painting.…

  • And here is this week’s lesson from Life Book. It was easy to make and I am happy with her. It’s good that some lessons are quick and easy because you quickly get to catch up. On the other hand those are lessons where you don’t learn much, so hard, slow and painful is also…

  • In spite of my resistance, I did finish the last week’s lesson in Life Book 2016. Today I plan to finish this week’s one and then I am all caught-up with Life Book and I am sure it will feel very good. I just posted her on IG and commented that she looks weird. Actually,…

  • I managed to finish two Life Book lessons this week. One I already posted here. The other one was a collaboration between Tam and Jane, hence my attempt to paint two different style faces. I do not know if they are supposed to be friends or mother and daughter, or both at the same time,…

  • Vitamin Sea continues. One more big challenge : stencils with watercolor sprays for background which didn’t really work. Jane used pastel paper and I used rough watercolor paper which seems to be too absorbent. I sprayed and sprayed and made almost muddy mess. Then came drawing with soft pastel… turned face I think my second…

  • Vitamin Sea course is very good, I admit. It’s very challenging for me and I learn things. I’ve worked on the kind of bonus lesson for two days. It would have been piece of cake if I knew how to draw full body, but I did not. So, after an hour of just drawing two…

  • Yesterday I finished last week’s Life Book lesson. I was lazy to start but I have to say that I really liked the making of it. And I love how it turned out: The vase is a cut-out from my painting palette (there is a stencil mark visible too) and it dictated the colors I…
