I'm easily get inspired but inplemintation of my ideas not always reach desired point. This is the second attempt to paint that rose that was more successful than the first one. Got good responses on Instagram.

continue my drawing practice
I heard drawing from cast heads would be a very good practice so I found some photos on internet and started drawing them.
daffodils exercise
Same story - trying to repeat after demos.
quickest still life
Just pushing myself to do it quicker and what is so interesting - I like it even more:)
water and clouds exercise
Inspired by a wonderful Russian artist Irina Sart - recently discovered on YouTube.
metal objects exercise
Inspired by a wonderful Russian watercolour artist Irina Sart - recently discovered on YouTube. It was quite a challenge.
more oils
More practice with oils. Following steps shown in Svetlana Rodionova's demo. My painting has a lot of wrong things (starting with composition). Next time I'll paint smaller things.
inspired by oils
Inspired by a wonderful Russian artist Svetlana Rodionova. I watched several YouTube videos and was absolutely wrapped in this. Svetlana is very generous and shows all steps. Mine is not so good but I enjoyed the process and of course I hope getting better.
dancing brush
Inspired by the demo by Rae Andrews watched on Youtube. The paper is very poor and the paints get soaked in...
dancing brush
A bit of loose work - without pencil sketch. Just imagination:)
Yellow World #2
Very heavily overworked:(( I was hoping to achieve more interesting painting. It shows I'm still not ready:)
knowing your colours
I had to do this exercise to see what combinations I could achieve with my new set of Winsor&Newton. One A3 sheet wasn't enough and I had to continue on additional A4 sheet. But... did I learn anything? Hmmmm...:)))
another rose
My greens always bother me. I concentrate of rose and its petals but what is around it it's just a nuisance for me. So I decided to use blues instead of greens.
works towards SES
Back to my Crimson Rosellas - this painting will be submitted for "Figurative" section.
Sydney sails #2
Hoping for better result this time!:)
works towards Rose Festival exhibition
Another overworked painting - still getting experience:)
still waters
One of the paintings for SES 2019. I think it looks quite good in monotone... but it's going to change...
upside down check
It is such a shame I didn't notice the obvious before finishing this work. The canvas was repared and the repare spot was a bit obvious. So I can't put it in Rose Festival Exhibition unfortunately.
work in progress
Working very fast - blocking the main areas with colours.
just a little watercolour
A make up scene. Trying to be easy on brushstrokes and colours.
inspired to paint
This miniature was done after visiting a small place called Gundaroo. I wonder why my colours are so dull?
post card from January workshop
During the workshop in Summer School organised by ASOC our tutor asked me to do a postcard based on the painting we were doing.
tonal sketch
Trying to have right tones and it's better to do in monotone.
Mccann's watercolour workshop
Lucy and Barry Mccann are great tutors - incredible style, so generous! I really enjoyed this experience in Summer School organised by ASOC this January.
