Joyful abstract flowers
For today I went back into childhood when all seemed so easy and perfect and I created this simple page with abstract round flowers. I drew then directly with a black roll pen and then I started to add color using Faber Castell gelatos. For the bottom background I even used the metalic Faber Castell gel stick set of 6 metalics, which has a rich texture and great coverage! Astazi m-am intors in copilarie cand totul parea atat de usor si perfect, si am creat aceasta pagina simpla cu flori rotunde abstracte. Le-am desenat direct cu un pix cu gel negru si apoi am inceput sa le colorez cu batoanele de…

Portrait in colored pencils
Remember the January 2015 colored 30 portraits in 30 days project I post about here? Some of the faces were painted using mixed media, some in watercolor, but lots of them were drawn using colored pencils. This face you’re seeing today was inspired by a photo I found on the web and I thought it would be nice to try to draw it in colored pencils. It was a little hard for me to stick with the proportions, because I tend to draw bigger and get out of the page with the face. Well, it took me some time to draw this face although you wouldn’t say, but was worth…

Watercolor portrait – Pam Carriker inspired
I wrote about Pam Carriker’s book here and also posted a video on YouTube about her book. Here is a face inspired by a drawing exercise I found in Pam Carriker’s book. I instantly felt I need to draw and paint something similar. Am scris despre cartea Pamelei Carriker aici si am postat si un video pe YouTube despre cartea ei. Aceasta fata este inspirata de un exercitiu de desen pe care l-am gasit in cartea Pamelei. Am simtit imediat ca trebuie sa desenez si sa pictez ceva similar. Just a pencils sketch to start with and some shading and I am ready to add color. I wanted to simplify the process and enjoy it rather than…

Barcelona Buildings Quick Sketches
I should sketch buildings more often, but I guess it’s hard to capture them on location if the weather is not that friendly. But we can always work after a photo we took on vacation and capture the beauty of the building in our journals. A sketch has its charming look and will always be more interesting and catchy than a photography could ever be. Cred ca ar trebui sa schitez cladiri mai des, dar e cam greu sa captezi frumusetea lor in locatie daca vremea nu e chiar atat de prietenoasa. Bine ca putem oricand sa schitam dupa o poza pe care am facut-o in vacanta si sa captam frumusetea cladirilor…

Painted Watercolor Shells
I haven’t got the chance to see the sea and probably I won’t this year. But even so, I wanted to sketch and light wash some sea shells lying in hot sand.
