I felt overwhelmed with all the things I took on, I hurt my wrist by not … Continue reading Goodbye April: Week 4 and May Plans
Another busy week, new things learned, new ideas popping up every day, very exciting. Let's take a look: Pastel (See all on instagram under #greenrainartpastels): I didn't have a prompt from instagram community this week (break for Easter) so I ended up doing only one painting this week - a corner of my husband's hometown. … Continue reading APRIL 2017: Week 3

What a busy and productive week it was! Let's take a look day by day: Monday was snowy and cold, which in turn inspired a simple digital painting, which I like especially after super bright drawing of the last week. Tuesday was, as always all about pastels. @artofpastels group had a lovely reference, which was … Continue reading Week 3 of 2017
Another week flew by. Or rather crept, as it seemed very long and New Year doesn't feel so new anymore. The first half of the week as I've written in my midweek report was rather challenging, so many drawing attempts were turning out less than perfect. But I also had a strike of inspiration following … Continue reading Week 2 of 2017: Fails and victories

I got a little overambitious and took up so many art projects, it was starting to stress me out a little, but most of them were successfully completed and I learned a lot from them. First of all I wanted to share some October beauty, which was such an inspiration for … Continue reading October Art
