Cry for "Visit Norway" Poster

That was very interesting experience. Trying to repeat colors, strokes and movement of the famous painting, I have suddenly got into some special mood. Was it the shadow of Mr. Munch or the shadow of this crying guy himself, I do not know, but I have felt like I was the part of this performance. 

Night Sea and Lamppost

Drawing of night scene is a new challenge for me. I draw it with oil pastel sticks and help from my memories of night sea views in Montenegro.
The darks in the original drawing are much more colorful than the camera version of this work.

Flowers

Watercolor with oil pastel accents.

I turned off TV, I do not read news in internet, I try to turn off radio news in the car. I can not stand more evidenciary of the disaster my country is speeding into.
I am so deeply sorry for 295 innocent people  of  MH17.

Flowers

Flowers in our little country garden inspired this sketch. Watercolor, ink pen, oil pastel.

21 Days of Creativity. Day #12.

Black and white. Fonts, B&W scans of colored images, scratching on black background, B&W copies of books' pages, whatever.

I knew from the beginning that I wanted to do B&W tree.  Yet again color interfered quite unexpectedly.
47x53cm. Wall paper, B&W acrylic, B&W markers, newspaper, oil pastel.

21 Days of Creativity. Day 8.

Task #8 - I have to use gesso as background, add watercolor, zentangles.
As usual I do it my way. As usual, I use all the materials on my table, this time ink and calligraphy  pen (new experience!) is added.
A friend of my commented (she is also in this project): "At last! we buy materials because of empty stock and not because we like shopping". 

21 Days of Creativity. Day #7.

Day 7 task is to use more layers and more stamps.
A bit obsessed with orange and reds in general as I look back at 7 days of creativity.

21 Days of Creativity. Day #6.

This scrapbook's style starts getting on my nerves.. I miss straight idea and order of my boring usual sketches!
But. It gives me freedom to use any possible color, to switch on fantasy and teaches me to be sincere with my blog and honest with my readers.
So 6 days are behind and 15 days to go.
Here I took oil pastels (forgotten in the fridge till today) and used them for the accents.
Wall paper roll again, acrylic paint, coloured paper collage, paper dots from punch, palette knife, plastic card, glue.
