Leaves


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.

  9. Beautiful 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.

  16. 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.

  19. 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.

    Very 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.

  20. 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 :-)

    Enjoy!
