Primus Stove, Old Style

My next still life from the drawing class. I was trying to describe the relationship of whites.
I love to look at the palettes with squeezed fresh paint. The color mixes are so beautiful and unpredictable. I made this photo in the drawing studio I go on Saturdays.

In the Cafe

Once again I post the pages of my sketchbook.

Tea Ceremony

Painting objects made of glass is always challenge and intrigue.
I planned to draw this sketch during tea ceremony in Japanese restaurant, but was distracted by the ceremony itself. When choosing between art and food, food wins..
So I photographed the table and worked on the drawing later.

Throne

I have several works (sketches) to share and plan to do it this new week. This throne is actually a 18century armchair for breast feeding women, low, wide and comfortable. I saw the article about them in Russian blog today (rich furniture collection decorated with text in Russian).

This pot was planned to be made of copper with patina. But who can argue that the eyes of the artist have the special vision?))

As I do not have time these days for proper blogging, I allow myself only quick browsing through my subscriptions in Google reader. So I want to share the links to treasures of blog-world  I am subscribed to.
Oona, her art is so laconic but rich.
And Tomas. Oh, his watercolors!

If I put here also Flickr treasures (as many of them do not have blogs) will you be able to see the link?
Like this one, for example.Gokmen T: here


And question about Facebook. Have you already thought about moving there on permanent basis? It has very comfortable interface for speedy drivers like me..

Sketchbook Quickies

Clown from the bookshelf

I am trying to get back to painting and blogging. At least I try to sketch on everyday basis and here are some results: quick work with ink and watercolor from my sketchbook.
It is 00-01a.m. here. I have to go to sleep, I need to be fresh tomorrow.
So the visits to your blogs are postponed again, I am so sorry..
