YEY! My new class is live! It is a short class - only 11 minutes! In this first episode of the series, we explore sketching with coloured pencils. I am demonstrating my quick way of capturing things that attract my attention when I am out and about. Some of these sketches evolve in time, most of them remain confined in my sketchbook or on bits of paper, memories of people and places. Hope you will like it! I appreciate your feedback - it will be helpful in putting together the other episodes of the series. . . . . . #skillshare #teach #sketching #urbansketching #colouredpencil #pencilart #pencildrawing #sketchbook #draw #illustration #monaiordache

The scariest day on the portrait front - selfies! . I used watercolor markers - the only ones that survived the purge in the office a while back - and some 30 years old wax crayons I bought in Italy. . I liked the idea of scribbling first. Right hand and left hand again. Can you guess which is which ?? . 13 DAYS into it - this is the longest i've done a challenge for. . . . . . #cbportraitaday #cbdailyportraitchallenge #cbdailyportraitdrawings #creativebug #creativebugchallenge #creativebugportraits #monaiordache

One of the ditsy patterns I made this eek for #exploreflorals with @victoriajohnsondesign.

I made this today for somebody who turns 66 tomorrow. On the #exploreflorals front, this week was dedicated to ditsy florals. Did you know there was such a thing as ditsy florals? I did not! I am not sure if these meet the requirement for being ditsy, but they were fun to paint. . I used a limited palette - same technique I used in my tutorial on #skillshare (which is still free BTW if you want to have a look). This time I painted within the lines LOL. . I used watercolor inks instead of tubes. . . . . .#florals #birthday #insta_pick_blossom #sketch #petals #petal #bloom #blooms #draw #floweroftheday #flowersofinstagram #flowerslovers #botanical #blossom #flowermagic #sketchbook #floral #illustrator #instaart #bday #watercolor #instaartist
