  • It’s been one busy week and I did not do much art. Last two days I’ve been back to my Black Book – discovered an unfinished mandala kind of something there and have been working on it, doodling with white pen and making dots with Perfect Pearls. It was meditative and soothing. As that one is…

  • As I said, after the world watercolor month, I have big plans on doing my course work. I am trying to keep up with the Life Book. I have to say that I am doing fine. I skipped one lesson which I definitely did not like, and I started and did not finish three more,…

  • And I am already behind! I should be finishing lesson 2 this week and I only just finished 1. Anyway. This was hard, because we were supposed to follow as close as possible what the teacher did, use the same supplies and techniques. It makes me itch and fidget and wish to abandon it and…

  • For today there is just a video of how I made the leaf ATC I posted earlier for #worldwatercolormonth. Enjoy!

It’s still quiet just birds singing. So… I decided to finish a long ago started spread in my art journal. Happy Summer to all!

  • The only limits are those you impose on yourself… Work in progress. She is deep in thoughts. She is rather unhappy, scared and in need of encouragement… which can obviously come only from inside. But she is not strong enough today. Collage and acrylic background and watercolor on top.

  • She knows but she is refusing to accept it. She hopes it is not what is. She hopes that it is true that everything changes. This was done on 5×7 stand-alone sheet of 300gsm hot pressed paper. It’s mostly acrylics and collage for background and the face is done in watercolors over a layer of…
