My assignment (for fun) after watching "The Art of Sketching" course by Mattias Adolfsson on Domestika.

6x6in, acrylic on canvas, completed in 3 days. No name, no identification, just a date. It's neither here nor there.

Black and white, graphite (pencil), drawing.

Sunday

Nothing matters when you are asleep!

I have long been fascinated by the vision of a campfire in a dark forest and I have drawn a few versions of it with different results. This is the latest attempt

Draw series of pines at Hailuoto island. There is many beautifull pines. Not a tall but quite thick and hardy stubborn trees

Study of bird at light and shadows of leaves

Fool in the Rain

Done on the iPad using procreate. Therapeutic meditative doodling.

But first coffee

Baby, it’s cold outside.

Another vision from imagination .

Tiny starflowers under trees are one part of macig at Finnish woods. This works point is more at illusion than realism

Stippling practice of a horse eye and piece of bridle.

Over a year ago, I finished my Robin Williams portrait, and I decided I wanted to create a series of different black and white portraits. So far, this is the happiest I've been with a piece in a while. There's no expectation, there's no real pressure on this, it's me falling in love with painting again. I've only been working on this for a week, so there isn't a ton of progress. I suppose I'll reveal who the person is later once more progress is made but for now, enjoy.

Ah yes, another hand. I never really realized how expressive hands can be, and I've been drawing them a lot more recently. (I swear I won't only draw hands.) This week has been quite the experience and has made me step back and look at certain things. (Who knew physics could be a metaphor for life?) Anyway, hope everyone is doing well, have a great weekend/week.
