Doodling by the pool in Tenerife, Spaine

I was so happy having an opportunity to travel to Tenerife, Spain for a week two weeks ago.

When living in ice cold Iceland, you love it so much to stay in the sun for some time.

Loved sitting by the pool, doing nothing but enjoying live.

I had to create a little, bought me a journal, little box of water soluble pencils and black pen.

I did some sketches, colored them and then I had my water bottle and used my finger to bring the color to paint.

I love my Lovely Ladies, they all talk to me in their way.

I had a wonderful week.

Hope you are having a wonderful week too.

Painting elephants..

Im taking a class with Wyanne Thompson, You and me.

I have learned to use Masking fluid with ink and watercolor.

I love those white lines..

This is my first try.

Cutting out the elephant from scrapbook paper and painting with ink.

This is my second one.

I did use tape where there is a blue color in the grass.. I was going to paint the elephants pink but without thinking i did paint them gray...

Making this one I did use watercolor.

The last one I did paint on canvas or spray with ink.

Now I did paint my elephant pink and I did some decoration with a poca pen.

Hope you like what you see, have a great weekend.

New art challange on a new year

I love to sign up for art challenge.

This year I did sign up for Lilla Rogers Bootcamp.

I little expensive but as a former student I did get 50% of so I could not say no..

First week in the month we get a mini project, the second week we get the challenge of the month and then we have two weeks to finish our challenge.

The first mini was to draw Edwardian Brooches.

I have never done anything like that before so it was a challenge for me.

I enjoyed making few pages, this is a little doodle and I love to doodle so I was having fun. 

I did use a watercolor to color it, I might try other kind of colors too.

Soon I hope to be able to color things like that in Photoshop.

Have a wonderful weekend

My Owl

Last weeks class at the Life Book was with Juliette Crane, How to paint whimsy animals. I did want to make an Owl and I did this little cute thing. But I did a mistake, I made her with a sleeves but not a wings so this is a Owl with sleeves surrounded with flying flowers, I must have been thinking of girl when I painted her and I was to tired efter my New York days. 

I think she is cute.

Going to practice more on whimsy animals.

Happy PPF to all of you..

My guarding angels

I had to make more of my Guardian Angels, did not have any at home, all sold out. I like making my Angels, I think they all look so different and kind of cute..

I have been using 300 gr watercolor paper cold pressed and one day I tried hot pressed and Im very happy with that paper, it is like painting on silk, it is like the color is floating so nicely.

Now I have to make few more so that I can have ready for my exhibition in September but then Im going to have both Lovely Ladies and Guardian Angels.
