Monday at The Beach - Watercolor

Hi there,

I love the beach, unfortunately I don't visit there quite often. It is only 25 min. drive from my house but I rarely went there this year...

This week I decided to enjoy the nature, on Monday morning! I thought that it would be calm and quiet on the weekdays, and I was right! Only few people were there, no shouting, kids or loud families. Just the water, the sand and the sky. I took my camera and some watercolor equipment just in case.

After two hours I felt inspired and gave it a try, it was windy, the paper got some sand and my dog began to bark and pull me. It wasn't ideal , but I managed to create something on the spot, and I liked it!

Allow me to share with you a photo of the place, and my watercolor painting.


Monday at The Beach - Watercolor on Paper


If you like the painting, you can purchase a high quality print in my online store.

It felt so good to paint nature on the spot, I think I will do it more and more.

Thanks for visiting, see you next time!

Blue Parrot Sketch - "Polly"

Hi there,

Lately I decided to keep on practicing with new mediums and different kinds of portraits. Usually I paint dog portraits, and regular "human" ones :) I already sketched and painted, lizards, giraffes, flies and cats in the past month. The other day I wanted to sketch a parrot, just a quick little one. When I looked at the result I wanted to throw it away, it was just for practice. But I didn't. I decided to watercolor the sketch,  to give some life to the bird. I thought that the result was cute and funny, very lively if you will... I wanted that the viewer will feel happy and optimistic, while looking at it. What do you think, can you feel it?
