drawing training and painting something new

My art teacher told us that you never forget what you have learned in drawing, you can only get better. My Facebook artist friend Lizzy Love has shared a link to a you tube video with a series of drawing lessons. Focus is on learning to omit the schemes we have of conceptions of the world and to draw what we see. Here is one of the drawings I have worked on (WIP)


The other WIP I share with you today is a painting containing various objects and faces that have come to my mind through visual impressions from my surroundings or coming "out of the painting".

  2. How do you get time Ilona? I haven't drawn in 2 years. I feel I can't just sit down or 3 or 4 hours

    1. Sara, I'm taking my time! :-) I really need it!
      You don't necessarily need hours at a time, sometimes half an hour is enough to get a little creative outlet and joy out of using your pencils and colours.
      I have started working in sketchbooks or art journals, which make the process easier, it is less craving a perfect result, but more about just making some art. Maybe you should give it a try.
