Apple blossoms. Bought a bunch frim the market mostly because of this branch. I like the shapes very much. Needles to say, the first attempt at painting these straight in watercolour turned out a disaster. But I am not giving up - I see potential here. #flowers #appleblossom #inspiration #naturelovers

I found this painting of an orchid - must be 4 years old at least. So I "gimped" it. What do you think? Should I change the background color? #gimp #gimpwithgaia #orchid #flowerillustration #doodles #artofinstagram #patterndesign #surfacedesign #monaiordache

#ChillyWilly v2.0 - cleaned this guy a little, removed the background, darkened the feathers just a touch and gave him an eye. He is terribly lonely, don't you think :) I have to think what I can add - maybe give him a family.. playmates....he needs some exercise or else he becomes diabetic :) #gimp #illustration #doodles #penguin @birdsillustration #monaiordache #sketchbook #artistjournal #maketimeforart

#gimp play using my peonies sketch from some time ago. This time I went for a monochromatic feel. The pattern is in my shops - link in bio. #gimpwithgaia #skillshare #patterndesign #surfacedesign #society6 #redbubble #monaiordache #doodles #flowerillustration

Experimented I did and this is what I came up with. Granted, not the bestest of patterns, but kinda cute nonetheless.... I think ?! What do you think? #pattern #watercolor #colormixing #colors # monaiordache #surfacepattern

5 min sketch of the entry at the metro station. I had a waterbrush and my funny gouache palette (it is actually the box from some cough drops). . . I am trying to get a hang of the gouache. I might apply more paint to make it more opaque - just for the sake of the experiment. Or glue some collage pieces ... or both.... . I never stopped to pay attention to the volumes on this building - yet this is one of the metro stations I use most often. Hmmmm...Talk about mindfullness - or the lack thereof... . #gouache #USK #urbansketching #artistjournal #sketchbook #artofinstagram #monaiordache

I am tickled pink for having managed to create this textured pattern! Yeyyyyy...I was not too concerned about the composition, it was an exercise to get comfortable with gimp and learn new stuff. Thanks @gaiamarfurt! #skillshare #gimp #patterndesign #texture #monaiordache #instagramartist
