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

Empty Birdhouses

The fall surprises us at warm and dry days, but the birds are not fooled: their houses will stay empty until next spring.

I am still deep into "work" mode, and dreaming about switching into "creativity" one, secretly in fear that I have completely forgotten how to draw during this long break.
I returned to drawing class and hope this activity will help me with transfiguration. Meanwhile one more dull still life in pencil from drawing class.
