Grey Days

A4 Grey days. Already 4 weeks there is no snow, no sun, only mist and humidity.

Practice

A4
Do you remember you need to practice every day to achive what you want? I was busy all week, no time for drawing and my painting dropped down quickly.

Sleeping Paws

Quick Studies

A5
This ficus is my first drawing while I had my lunch in cafe. I feel extremly shy to draw when people are around. Afraid that somebody will laugh at my drawings... That time it was OK, as I hid in the farest corner. And two months later, yestreday, I added color.

This one is the study of Mineke Reinders painting. I did it in 15 minutes and pleased with the result. I added sun rays with cotton pad.

First Snow

First snow. The world became white at last. Photo is done from my glassed balcony. That is why you can see chrysanthemyms. Tomorrow they promise +3C, so greys will be back.

Study Room

I am blabbing here and there about my new activity - I started learning drawing and painting with teacher. Now I proudly post the proofs. It is a cube, pumpkin and color study (cool/warm colors, harmony groups)

Indian Ink Pen

A5
Here I tried indian ink pens - one, actually. I like it and no more afraid of its permanency, no possibility to use eraser, to correct. It makes drawing more fun.
And I planned these trees as vines, I do not know how they turned into apple-trees.

Angry Scorpio

A5
EDM challenge - draw your mug. I do not know how it turned out to be so angry creature... 

Drawing and Painting

A5
It is the second time I try watercolor pencils. They are too intensive, I have to remember that next time.

Limited Palette

I have got these 4 pastel sticks for free, as gift from "ARTishoke" art supply shop in Moscow, where I buy all my art materials and where I would like to live among all there treasures...

A4
It was a pleasant surprise, so I decided to draw something with these 4 sticks.

Moscow from the car window

A5
Vorontsovo Pole, Moscow, today.
I was sitting in the car and sketching. Time was so quickly passing, people passed by, music played and heater turned on in my car, I could do drawing forever, but suddenly it became dark and strong snow started. I had to move. I loved the processes. Color was added when I've got back home.
