Beware, dear readers. I am free at last from my business activity and, due to the latest circumstances, I plan to stay in the city with a lot of free time. So I plan to bombard you with my art works in non-stop mode.
Today the watercolor sketch of the potted plant's leaves. I link it to Sunday Sketches blog, as it was done on Sunday.
During my 3,5 years in blogger-world I saw different types of art challenges.
Rookiepainter and A Nos Pinceau introduced the idea to join efforts in painting from the photo.
Monday Artday and Illustration Friday provide the topic word and you have to switch on your imagination and creativity to portray that word.
The art challenge of Sunday Sketches is another type of the gathering. Participants have to provide the link to their blogs so one can see which art they did on Sunday - that's all.
I think the challenges all are very important as they aim at developing our art skills and introduce us to each other.
Which type if challenge is interesting for you (if any)?
These leaves were inspired by so very talented Oona Leganovic's plants in glass pots.
Bombard us with more of your wonderful sketches and paintings, Irina! Enjoy your free time!
ReplyDeleteLovely leaves leaving time for more drawing! Have fun on Sunday Sketching Day!

ReplyDeletethe plant is beautiful and so full of life - I love blogging challenges of all sorts though the more unstructured ones are easier to fulfill
ReplyDeleteBeautiful light and pure painting. It makes me think of crisp white linen and lilies of the valley for some reason...all pictures of cool purity, It's wonderful that you are going to have more time for painting. I am waiting with pleasure for the "bombardment" of art from your studio.
ReplyDeleteI really like your work. Blessings!

They are lovely! Green is my favorite color. It was all I could do not to use green, since I was trying to get out of my comfort zone. What a joyous occasion to have glorious time to create.
ReplyDeletevery pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt will make me very happy to be bombarded with images from you, Irina! I am still catching up from vacation time away and just wanted to send my condolences on the passing of your father recently.
ReplyDeleteTake care!
Hi Irina,
ReplyDeletethanks for joining this week's APR, I loved your blue monochromatic artwork. The plate shelves are also stunning!
Best,
Jenn
Irina the most interesting challenge for me currently is writing and to finish up this degree then get a job... then I'll move on and see where I land next. I love to challenge myself to do new things, if I never try anything new or different life becomes mundane.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work, you do some amazing things and are very talented. Good for you to have some time now to do what you enjoy doing! Have a wonderful week.
I am ready for your bombardment, very fresh and clear these leaves look! Challenges are good in a way that they help you to come out of your comfort zone, but personally for me they drain my energy, worrying about the end result :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are going to have lots of fun with your free time Irina,
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
love all the blog opportunities that force me to do artwork- just wish I had more time to devote to them!
ReplyDeletelove the leaves!
cheers, dana
Wow. Thank you so much for your reaction. So much!
ReplyDeleteThank you my new visitors.
Now I have to go away, but promise to land at your blogs and enjoy every moment of the action.
Love these leaves, so delicate they seem as they stretch out on their stems. And I see you plan to bombard with your art - yes, do so - that is so inspirational. I think of all the challenges, I like the ones that make you "think" the best.
ReplyDeleteFound you through Artist's Play Room! Love LOVE the leaves. I'm glad your time is free to bombard everyone with art. Yeah! Warmly, Tracy #13
