Glossy magazines as inspiration

 The models in the glossy magazine are a great inspiration for drawing. This ballerina had a beautiful posture, so I made a simple drawing.

Saffron and cornflower

 I am still joining the Septemberchallenge of #coloricombo. My sketchbook is filling up with colours, I love it. The combination of saffron and cornflower reminded me of the Mediterranean coast with those magnificent pine trees. And since I am longing for a holiday, I painted myself a landscape view.

Combination of two colours

 At the moment I am joining the #coloricombo challenge by Este Macleod, in which two colours are paired and you are challenged to only use those two.

This is indigo and mushroom for instance:


And this is lavender and mulberry...

It is not easy, first to think of what I will draw, and second to use colours which are sometimes very close to each other. The results are always a bit surprising, and that is what I like about it. You can still join or do the challenge for your own study.

How about some carpet?

Just draw rectangles and start filling them with your imagination and preferred patterns. Use bold and light marks, and then add some watercolour, and this is what you might get... if you were me... ;).
