Juicy Pear, watercolor painting
This year, my paintings are dominated by various pears. In this painting, I decided to make the pear as juicy as possible. I keep painting them because it feels like more can be done or something can be improved. At the same time, I study the form in general. The question is how to make…

Mademoiselle Sketchbook
I never took much liking to colored pencils, until one day I felt the urge to sharpen every pencil I had in the house. It’s quite a meditative task and sometimes one just feels like it. That’s when I thought of actually trying to use them again, after all, I do have quite a few…

Reclining figure, charcoal drawing
This piece took me about 30 minutes, and I wish I had done it on a better paper. I used rough newsprint, and it’s not the best paper for longer poses. Still, I’m fairly satisfied with the results, especially considering that I didn’t get the best vantage point for this pose.

Pyrogies, watercolor painting
Painting of Pyrogies with blueberries *_* It was seriously tough not to eat them >.> These pyrogies are a type of food which is common in Easter Europe and Ukraine. They can be savory or sweet and usually contain some sort of filling. These particular pyrogies are filled with blueberries. The dough is sweet as…

Heroic, charcoal drawing
Sometimes, I think of characters from video games while drawing, and then I end up with something heroic ^_^

Pair of pears, watercolor painting
Pair of pears is probably my favorite pun %) This is why I have so many paintings of two pears! This is another experiment in watercolors. I think, I overdid it a little with the shadows here, but I enjoy seeing the way my paintings change and evolve. This still life painting is 8.5 by…

Quick gestures, charcoal drawing
A couple of quick, but interesting gestures. Especially the one on the left, what is it up to?! The one on the right looks as if it’s half-submerged into a bath of milk 😀

Green pear, watercolor painting
I keep a bunch of fake fruits on the table for the times when I’m too lazy to get an actual fruit or vegetable, or simply can’t like with this whole quarantine deal. I just turn them and paint over and over, all I care about is the shadows on the shape ^_^ I might…

Two standing figures, charcoal drawing
I really like the figure on the right. I think for once, torso turned out pretty well ^_^ – Where is your corset? And no stockings!– I’m against them.– But you are not properly dressed.– Who’s to say what’s proper? What if it were agreed that “proper” meant wearing a codfish on your head? Would…

Star gourd, watercolor painting
Every fall, my mom gets me a small net of gourds of different shapes. I really enjoy having them around the house and to paint them. Here’s another gourd painting! I wanted to make my watercolor paintings more vivid, so this one turned out with fairly high contrast. Do you like when watercolor paintings are…

Leaning figure, charcoal drawing
I like the flow of this figure a lot, it turned out very fluid I think. Sometimes, I feel sad that I drew a drawing on cheap newsprint, but I keep reminding myself that practice makes it perfect! If I wanted to make a version of a particular drawing on good paper, I could with…

Duckling gourd, watercolor painting
One night I was set to paint some gourds, and… Doesn’t this gourd looks like an adorable duckling on its back? ^_^; I think with everything that’s going on, we could use a little of cuteness! I used watercolors to paint this little one. It’s 8.5 by 5.5 inches and painted on 138lb paper.
