This week I participated in Drink and Draw for the first time. It felt a bit intimitating, all kind of self doubt kicked in. It was intensive, fast, tiring and exhilarating all at the same time. Had a well-earned beer afterwards 🙂
Drawing started with 5 x 2 minute poses, then 5 and 10 minutes and ended with 2x 15 minute poses. These 2-minute poses were so quick! To get some additional practice, I joined DnD patreon page and did some afterdrawings.
Drawing is fun! And life drawing is extra fun. DnD sessions are so laudable. I haven’t done any life drawing for 20 odd years, since graduating art college, and tese events make it easy and accessible again.
Take care,
Hedvig

Sketching and crafting
It’s getting warmer outside and my green fingers a bit itchy. But the more I want to do outside stuff, the less time I actually have for it. For some reason the last couple of months before summer holidays tends to be crazy busy at work. But windowsill gardening is in full swing 🙂 And Read more

Whimsical Linda Amalia
Linda Amalia is an artist name for my dear friend and wonderful illustrator Liina. We actually studied textile craft together, but life happened and she began drawing instead. Drawing was an old love of hers and I’m super happy she has reconnected to it, because she is really damn good at it! Her style is Read more
