Ink doodle

I don't have too much time and energy these days, so I haven't finished any "major" work in a while. I played with few scraps of paper and some ink to create an ink doodle.

Bistro sketch

Everybody advises location sketching to improve drawing skills. I try to follow the advice every now and then.

Quick sketch at the neighborhood bistro and quotes from the French newspaper.

Husky ... of sorts

I decided to draw the husky dod attached to my keychain. I don't know what made me think I could draw a dog...

He is genetically modified dog - combination of squirrel, dog and something else. He looked so sad that I decided to color the background with swirls of watercolor. I like the flower-like shape that emerged, I can see that as a stencil or a morph in an abstract painting...

Socks

This is the third pair of socks I knitted this winter. The second pair were a Christmas gift for my sister. I am knitting a coat now - post to follow as soon as I am done.

Doodles gone wild - take 3

This is the assignment for week three of the Strathmore workshop:

I did not have big paper, so I made some. I took the real estate supplement of the weekend paper and glued the pages together with masking tape. I was too lazy to take out the sewing machine. I gessoed, painted and stamped over the pages. The black and white doodles are on tracing paper and rice paper using acrylic ink and india ink.

Carpe Diem

Last week, I felt the need to sketch something. I remembered one of the items on the everyday matters list is to draw a watch. So I drew mine - in reality it is black. I bought it a while back from the Museum of Fine Arts boutique. I did not really need another watch, but I could not stop myself from buying it. It is different from any other watch I ever saw, with the two little windows going around. Super cute...

Doodles gone wild - take 2

 

Assignment for week 2 of Traci's workshop.  Not much else happened on the artsy front I am afraid. We just got one foot of snow and tomorrow it will be -30, so my inspiration is kinda frozen at the moment...
