  • A quick note today. This  one is my favourite so far. After a whole day of rain yesterday, we woke up into a beautiful sunny morning. It’s freezing cold though and I am contempleting whether to go out for a run. Today is the travel day too so I am slowly packing. Have a restful…

  • It’s raining. I am waiting for the rain to stop so I can go to the market to buy my food for next week. I hope it will stop otherwise I go on diet… And what better way to use the waiting time than to paint a girl or two… The lighting is bad, of…

  • This one started as another hairless girl, but decided in that she will actually grow some hair on one of her sides. I am not too pleased with her, don’t know why actually. But that’s fine, I don’t have to love all of them. Good news is it’s Friday! Weather’s not nice, I did not…

  • Today, there is one more bald girl. She obviously let go of her hair, as it was very warm this summer. She is having second thoughts now, I think. That’s why she looks so angry. It’s Thursday and the weather is so very cold that I could hardly run this morning. My nose kept running…

  • 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,…

  • Yesterday we went to the local mall because the weather was too bad to go out, we had coffee and a walk around and, of course, we visited the art shop. They had one new interesting thing: White Nights watercolors. They are Russian and therefore cheaper than other fine watercolor brands. I bought a 24 pan…

  • Just a quick one… This is girl number 43 in my journal. I did not post 40-42 yet, but as I recorded a video of this one, let it be her today:

  • 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…
