Favorite

30x40cm, watercolor and Neocolor sticks

My favorite shoes were waiting to be painted for almost a month. First week, I put them on the windowsill in front of my writing table, to motivate drawing. It was getting darker outdoors and I bought IKEA folding lamp next week to light the windowsill up (yes, I found time to visit shop, it is much easier than to make me draw). The third week shoes looked like they began to lose patience. And at last, yesterday, I painted this still life.


Another pair of summer shoes has already taken the vacant place on the windowsill...

Meanwhile, inspired by my victory over the shoes, I sketched at the kitchen that same evening: 
Sketchbook, watercolor and sepia ink

  10. Nothing like getting down to laying some paint, sketching to keep one going, no? I have the same problem - I procrastinate rather than get right to the job :( Lovely end results here !!!!
