  • Ok… I had a major emotional break-down and missed a post or two I think. Anyway, life goes on and I keep painting because that’s keeping me… No, I should not say sane, because that I am definitely not. It’s keeping me going. Yes, that’s the word. There was a small bundle of happiness waiting for me in…

  • Today was my travelling day, so I am exhausted and ready for bed after sharing this with you. Yesterday I did some watercolor mixing experiment that went wrong on two ATCs and almost on the third one as well. The third turned out pretty nice after all, I made some mud, but actually I like…

  • World Watercolor Month: Days 11 and 12

    As I hinted yesterday, here come two darker pieces. These are not ATCs but they are anyway small, only 5″x7″ or 12.5 x 18 cm.

  • 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…

  • Last week’s lesson from Life Book. I was always drawn to try and draw this face and here came an opportunity. I’m quite pleased with him. The background is acrylics and on top I used pencils, charcoal and oil pastel. The original is on the right ;).

  • This was the prompt in week 19 of Book of Days. In this case, it’s childless mother. Yes, in case you wonder, such mothers do exist… They will never meet their child, but motherhood is, nevertheless, deep in their bones.
