Inspired by..... Tijana/ Nadahnuta....Tijanom




Hi everyone! It's time for another Inspired by....post. The medium is acrylic on cardboard. This time I illustrated Tijana from fashion abejita. Painting lace is always a challenge and I'm aware that I have a long way to go when it comes to illustrating fabrics, but all things considering, I think I did pretty well. In fact, I'm quite happy with how this painting turned out. This outfit is a summery one, but it is suitable for Spring as well. Besides, green is in this Spring. 

Zdravo svima! Vrijeme je za još jednu Nadahnuta s...objavu. Medij su akrilne boje na kartonu. Ovaj put sam naslikala Tijanu sa bloga fashion abejita. Slikati čipku je izazov i znam da imam još puno toga za naučiti kada je ilustriranje tekstila u pitanju, no  kada se sve uzme u obzir, mislim da ova slika nije loše ispala. Zapravo,  poprilično sam zadovoljna s time kako je slika ispala. Ova kombinacija je ljetna, ali zapravo se može nositi i na proljeće. Osim toga, zelena je sada u trendu.





This is what the sketch looked like....

Ovako je izgledala skica.....






Some of your expressed an interest in seeing the 'making of' my paintings. The whole painting probably took about an hour to finish. There were lots of details in this one. As I already said, painting lace is tricky.

Neki od vas su izrazili interes u tome da vide kako pravim svoje slike. 

Trebalo mi je vjerojatno oko sat vremena za završiti sliku. Bilo je puno detalja. Kao što sam već rekla, nije lako slikati čipku.

    Konačno sam ugrabila trenutak za blog i nadoknađivanje prpouštenog i baš mi je drago to što je u pitanju ova objava gde sam ja u pitanju i baš danas kad su mi stigle tvoje ilustracije :) Šta da ti kažem, uvek mi je drago kad se odličiš za neku od mojih slika i kombinacija. Sad sam baš dobila želju da ponovo nosim tu haljinicu koja kao što kažeš nije isključivo letnja. Mogu samo da zamislim koliko je teško naslikati čipku, ali isto tako mislim da ti odlično ide za rukom. Baš mi je drago što je i video tu. Ostavljam ga za nešto kasnije kad budem stigla :)
    Hvala ti još jednom na svemu! <3

      hvala ti, drago mi je da ti se sviđa. Čipku je malo složenije naslikati i još uvijek istražujem sve mogućnosti. Poznavajući sebe, na kraju ću smisliti neki svoj poseban način za oslikavanje čipke.:)

What's more, I love that you shared with us with the painting process, it was a pleasure to see how it came into being. You're right - painting lace can be tricky, but in my opinion you did great job on this task, well done, Ivana :)
    Take care, dear!

    It's really very beautiful, dear Ivana, I also liked the music on the first video! Lovely illustration and well done, because lace is really difficult to draw. I used to draw and paint, and people like my illustrations and paintings, I was even interviewed on that for a TV documentary once, but one day I went to the National Gallery in London and saw a picture that showed lace and after that I have seldom done a thing again. I felt so poorly talented after that :( People are telling me that I am crazy, but it was my feeling :) Such a "coincidence" to see lace now and to remember that "episode" :) I loved the illustration and videos! Hope you have a lovely day, dear Ivana!

      You shouldn't have felt that...I mean nobody can draw lace without practice, everyone had had to learn draw lace at some point in order to have been able to pull it off...that artist in National gallery included. We can we be good at something we try for the first time, it has nothing do to with the lack of talent...everything takes time. Drawing is hard, it just is.

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...
