Trying out some New Watercolors
Some time ago I ordered several new watercolours, because Schmincke just recently introduced 36 new colors and I wanted to try some of them. Also they were giving a free dot chart to the first 100 orders in Jackson’s, so I thought it is a good idea to order now and get the dot chart,…

Mandala on a CD
I have several broken CDs and I thought it would be a good idea not to throw them to waste, but use as a base for little mandalas. Last week I started, and over the weekend finished the first one. Here is one progress shot (along with the mandala I am working on currently, you…

Mandala in Progress
I haven’t written a blog post for a long time. It’s not because I did not do any art, it’s just I did not feel like writing. One migraine is behind me. Some sad mood too. I am back to work from 1st February and a whole mountain of stuff was waiting for me when…

Mandala 5 February
This one I started last year, but got interrupted by Black Book month. So, it’s finished now: I am a little bit lazy to write these days, so there were no posts, but I will catch up next week…

Black Book January: Update #6
I have two new finished mandalas in my Black Book. This is one: I started it weeks ago and then my white pen gave up and I did not have the ink to refill it, so I had to leave it and start something else. This week I reconnected with my white ink, so here…

Black Book January: Update #6
Today we travelled to Slovenia, so there was no time for art at all in the morning, but I plan to squeeze some mandala time in the evening, after blogging and before Netflix. I can show you now a work in progress, the one I started yesterday: It was very cold in the house when…

Black Book January: Update #5
I have finished another mandala today: This one was quick and easy. I used Sakura gel metallic pens and white Uni Ball pen. I was sitting by the swimming pool and drawing. It was a great day: swimming, sauna, art and resting all day long. I really needed it. I also started some meditation…

Black Book January: Update #4
Today I finally completed this mandala: The yellow parts are actually gold gel pen, but it’s not photographing well. Yesterday we went to Austria to that outlet, did some little shopping, had lunch and came back to our hotel. We spent the afternoon in the pool and sauna. It’s good, there are other guests, but…

Black Book January: Update #3
I’ve been working on this one mandala for several days now. I used white posca pen for contours, and had a lot of trouble with it. It did not want to work and I started to shake it and then the paint came out of it on top of my drawing. I managed to clean…

Black Book January: Update #2
This morning I finished the mandala that took several days to do: There were large areas to color with color pencils and then doodles also took awhile. Color pencils make the surface waxy and slippery, so doodling with ink on top is not very easy. I made lots of mistakes, but I am rather…
