Bleu Hope's Faves

Mandala Art

"There is," said the marzipan pig, "such sweetness in me!" "The Marzipan Pig" by Russell Hoban is one of my favorite books. During the pandemic, @pgoedi from @communitybookstore read it and I drew it. Found it again and wanted to share it. This makes me want to draw live again. It is such a nerve racking thing and so fun!

More paper and pen.. I'm trying, really.

Burnt oaker soft pastel

A sketch of a bird I did with a blue watercolor pencil. It's supposed to be a robin, but I kinda went with my own style on it.

From The Great Flood by Michelangelo

Made with gel ink pen for a future art book about mediterranean way of life. A little traditionnal turkish coffee on the way

Recently I saw beautiful Van Gogh exhibition. I really enjoyed movement of his brush and vivid colours. It was more about energy and feelings than realistic details. I am always gravitating towards realism and always want to spend more and more time perfecting paintings like they are never really finished so this time I decided to challenge myself not to do that.
