The week in 6 min increments - most of them anyway. ⠀ .⠀ Including a fight with half an avocado - who knew it will be so hard to sketch it ??!!!??!!!! 6 failed attempts .....hmmmmm .....⠀ .⠀ Few failed attempts to sketch my coffee cup as well - what is that about?!?!⠀ .⠀ Then I tried to plant and that made me feel better. ????.⠀ .⠀ This is all I had time for last week .... I have no idea where the time goes but I know I stop only when I sleep - and not even then sometimes because I have nightmares....⠀ . ⠀ I keep thinking things will get better, less running around, more streamlined, I will go back to yoga, start running ....but the day is over before I can do any of these, I am exhausted, I try to get some sleep and the next day same thing ....I don't make plans anymore - there is no point, in the end I would feel even more guilt for all the things I did not do....⠀ . ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #onmydesk #creativityfound #getcreative #illustrationartists #artistsofinstagram #watercolorpainting #gouachepainting #carveouttimeforart #artinprogress #makearteveryday #doitfortheprocess #inthestudio #calledtobecreative #monaiordache $mdidesignstudio #ohnmarskillshare

I don't know where the week went - or the year for that matter. For some reason, this week though flew by ... I blame it on the winter - we are still at -18C. ⠀ .⠀ I am rushing to finish assignments for the abstract collage workshop with Melinda Tidwell. This pic actually is from last week when I was working on last week's assignment for said workshop and my office assistant seem to take an interest to the final result ??.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #collageart #abstractcomposition #caturday #paperart #cutandpaste #mdidesignstudio # monaiordache

Experimenting with grids with @melindatidwellart . . It’s been a while since I did any abstract work - glad I took on the challenge tough. Hope to work more with these structures in the future as they provide a strong foundation to base on. . . . . . #collageart #abstractcomposition #paperart #cutandpaste #mdidesignstudio #monaiordache

First attempt at a repeat on the ipad - binge watching “Nurse Jackie” and waiting for my arm to heal. . . . . . #patterndesign #surfacedesign # surfacepattern #printandpattern #doitfortheprocess #mdidesignstudio #monaiordache

Tried out the last @everytuesday tutorial. Working on the ipad is easier when one is (temporarely) one handed. I went with an art deco vide. . Not surehow I feel about the result though. There are things I like and things I like less but I have a hard time articulating them. What do you think? . . . . . #procreate #ipad #ipadart #draw #paint #digitalart #creativity #ipadartoftheday #ipadartwork #flower #flowermagic # floweroftheday #doodleoftheday #instaart #mdidesignstudio #monaiordache

First exercise in @flor_kaneshiro worksop about sumi-e and watercolors. ⠀ I took a short sumi-e workshop some years ago, but Iit was too short and my four nobles were very wonky, Hopefully now I will get them the right way. When, I am not sure but I started ...⠀ .⠀ Of course I still cannot paint within the lines ??. And I forgot to leave white lines in the girl's coat.⠀ . ⠀ It was fun, relaxing. And it is lovely to see Flor painting and listen to her speaking Argentinian Spanish.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #onmydesk #creativityfound #getcreative #illustrationartists #artistsofinstagram #watercolorpainting #carveouttimeforart #artinprogress #makearteveryday #doitfortheprocess #inthestudio #calledtobecreative #monaiordache #sketching #sketch #painting #draw #paint #sketchbook #instaart #artoftheday #illustrator #painter #mdidesignstudio

No straight lines and coloring a map with @eisroughdraft. Missed a couple of days...I used a background I had - lots of those around... . . . . . #creativebug #cbdailypractice #cbugxebmapmonth2020 #mixedmedia #abstractdrawing #creativeprompts #onmydesk #getcreative #illustrationartists #carvetimeoutforart #mdidesignstudio #monaiordache

I painted some gouache shapes a while back and never got around to trace them. I lost all the texture in the process. I gave them a bit of a retro look.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #patterndesign #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #printandpattern #doitfortheprocess #artlicencing⠀ #creativelife #loveforart #patterndesigner #printdesign #designprocess #doitforthegram #fabricdesign ⠀ #textiledesigner #wallpaperdesign #stationerydesign #patternlove #textile #textildesign #fashionprint #monaiordache #mdidesignstudio

Playing with some #artnouveau inspired florals. I was planning to make a colored pattern but it ended up blue and white...It might not qualify "officially" as an Art Nouveau repeat given that these patterns of those days were mostly geometric. Not sure what else it could be used on wither ...hmmm - any ideas?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #patterndesign #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #printandpattern #doitfortheprocess #artlicencing⠀ #creativelife #loveforart #patterndesigner #printdesign #designprocess #doitforthegram #fabricdesign ⠀ #textiledesigner #wallpaperdesign #stationerydesign #patternlove #textile #textildesign #fashionprint #mdidesignstudio #monaiordache
