Early spring 2023

This is a sketchbook page, A4, about pink and white flowers. It was a very relax work just for fun and very experimental for me. 

the first layers of this flower were more about the shadows, it looks a bit pale then I added. more pink.

I really want to use this blog more, social media are not very nice to use even though is easier in other to  have contact with people interested in my art and with other artists. I hope I can make something more meaningful and organized in here... 

the pictures are not perfect, nothing is perfect but the intention is to connect and show my work as it goes.

Small Sketchbooks (2019)

I have a few small sketchbooks A6 size, that I try to take everywhere. This are what I use outside the most of the time. Some of them are hand made with watercolor paper, or I also like moleskin. Sometimes I also use a very light A5 sketchbook. These pictures are from 2019 mostly. Now I travel much less so I use small sketchbooks less.
