VACATIONS and birds

VACATIONS and Dogs

VACATIONS and Cats

Cats.

We met a few during vacations: Leo, Paula, Punctien (??- German)

Didn't stay still for long.
They were ideal to make me sketch very quickly.

Even when they stand and seem asleep the ears keep alert.

Cupcakes, pastel on paper 29x21 cm

Back to work.

This is my entry for the current challenge on Karin Jurik's blog http://differentstrokesfromdifferentfolks.blogspot.com/

Meanwhile, I started taking a painting course, too.
I hope to keep the pace and post the works here.

Acrylic on paper 10 x 15 cm. For 'different strokes'.

I'm considering to take a distance drawing/painting course through London Art College.
Any advice?

For DSFDF; acrylic on paper 10 x 15 cm; to late to post there...

Diana, pastel on canson paper for Different Strokes Challange (as usual)

'At the beach' 20 x 40 cm watercolor for Different Strokes.

I'm very happy with this one.
Just opened a new watercolor set; a really good one! - a gift from a friend. It was a thrill.
had a great time. I usually prefer soft pastel but these 'waterman' colors blinked at me.

Pastel on paper, for DSFDF - 'Sushi'.

I wasn't very fond of this theme but, as long as it keeps me painting...

Pastel on paper, 30 x 20 cm 'Wigs & Mannequin Heads' for DSFDF

I failed completely on my purpose (to post a painting every week),
but I haven't given up.

This piece is my contribution for DSFDF challenge. almost a week ahead (I made it, Erika!)

I'll try to work on another one during next week... we'll see...

Pastel on paper for 'Different strokes from different folks' blog.

My next goal is to post a painting in between Karin's biweekly challenge.
that is to say one every week.

and I've been sketching a lot since I visited adebanji alade 's blog - he makes it look so easy.
I'm an absolute fan.

this is my entry on 'different strokes' challenge. watercolor, this time.

For the Holidays, Karin asked for a portrait.
This is probably the most difficult work this poor 'painter wannabe' ever got her hands on.
this is to say: I'm sorry Bruce. I have limitations...
