Woke up at 4am - and not in the best of moods. . I tried to make some funny faces and I think I succeeded only partly. . Then I raided the fridge in search for next subject. Eggplant, zucchini and pepper to the rescue. . Two versions - watercolor and gouache. . And one lovely texture where I "see" a little rabbit with very big ears. . . . . . #sketch #sketching #painting #drawing #sketchbook #instaart #artoftheday #illustrator #painter #onmydesk #creativityfound #getcreative #illustrationartists #artistoninstagram #watercolorpainting #gouachepainting #carvetimeoutforart #artinprogress #makearteveryday #doitfortheprocess #inthestudio #monaiordache

My first attempt at a folk floral - in my redbubble shop. It took a bit to get the hang of the symmetry - I can't do anything symmetric. When I draw something symmetric, one side will always be wonkier than the other. But I like the result.⠀ Nice brief - thanks @victoriajohnson_createexplore!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #patterndesign #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #printandpattern #doitfortheprocess #artlicencing⠀ #creativelife #loveforart #patterndesigner #printdesign #designprocess #doitforthegram #fabricdesign ⠀ #textiledesigner #wallpaperdesign #stationerydesign #patternlove #textile #textildesign #fashionprint ⠀ #exploreflorals

I've got the blues; the weather over the last week did not help a bit; yesterday I established a personal record - 2km in 2 hours of driving ... and I kid you not. Soooooo ...the mood is not great. But I did my painting exercises!⠀ .⠀ Carrots today - dreaming about farmer's markets.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #sketching #sketch #painting #draw #paint #sketchbook #instaart #artoftheday #illustrator #painter #onmydesk #creativityfound #getcreative #illustrationartists #artistsofinstagram #watercolorpainting #gouachepainting #carveouttimeforart #artinprogress #makearteveryday⠀ #doitfortheprocess #inthestudio #monaiordache #creativebug #cbchallenge #creativebugchallenge⠀ #cbclass #carolyngavinclass #cbdrawaday #carolyngavin31daychallenge

I decided to paint a cadinal for the #crativebugchallenge. There is one that comes in my sister's backyard all the time. I used liquid watercolors for this one and painted some flowers with the leftovers. I'll paint more birds hopefully soon so that make a bird pattern. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #sketching #sketch #painting #draw #paint #sketchbook #instaart #artoftheday #illustrator #painter #onmydesk #creativityfound #getcreative #illustrationartists #artistsofinstagram #watercolorpainting #gouachepainting #carveouttimeforart #artinprogress #makearteveryday⠀ #doitfortheprocess #inthestudio #monaiordache #creativebug #cbchallenge ⠀ #cbclass #carolyngavinclass #cbdrawaday #carolyngavin31daychallenge

I tweaked a bit the cocktail glass and this is t he final submission for this week's #createchristmas. I wanted to add some texture but I did not have time so flat it is, at least for now. @victoriajohnson_createexplore @victoriajohnson design⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #onmydesk #creativityfound #getcreative #illustrationartists #artistsofinstagram #watercolorpainting #gouachepainting #carveouttimeforart #artinprogress #makearteveryday #doitfortheprocess #inthestudio #calledtobecreative #monaiordache

I was about to go out for a walk when I saw this. Most of the time I check ahead of time.... I especially "like" the -34C... . I am going for a walk anyway - just a very short one.... My good friends are on the coast of Spain till March. Maybe I am due for a visit....hmmmm..... . . . . . #winter #winterweather #quebecweather #montrealweather #mtlweather
