a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

 Hello there!  You know I live for that 'be a tourist in your own city' concept.  I was an advocate of local travel long before the pandemic changed the way people travel (see this post from 2015  to see what I mean). Today I'll  show you some pretty areas in Mostar city. In fact, you could say that we'll stroll around the city together. Sure, I blogged about these places before, but one more time won't hurt because Mostar truly  is a stunning city. If nothing else, river Neretva is enough to take one's breath away. Since I'm currently based in this town, it makes sense to to explore it. Moreover, I'll share four outfits I wore for exploring  Mostar city.  April has proven to be surprisingly cold, so I switched my blazers for winter coats, ski (!!!) and leather jackets.  The last one could be my favourite outfit of this month so far. What is your favourite styling? OUTFIT #1- SKI PROJECT JACKET PAIRED WITH HIGH BOOTS , A TARTAN JAC...

 Hello dear readers! Today it's time for another post in my FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY series (read the last one here ). Today you'll have an opportunity to see a couple of my new fashion illustrations. One of them was drawn with reference and the other illustrations are from my imagination. The medium for all them is watercolour pencils on (sketchbook) paper. The sketchbook paper I was using is not really meant for watercolours but I think I got away with it.   Let's get started, shall we?  FROM MY MINI SKETCHBOOK: A GREEN DRESS ILLUSTRATION AND A PORTRAIT First I'm going to show you two illustrations from my smallest sketchbook. Bellow you can see both of them: 1) an illustration of a green dress paired with a pink bag and heels and 2) a portrait of a girl in a green top. So, both of them are about green spring vibes really. If I recall well, I sketched both of them yesterday. They are quite small and not very detailed so I didn't spend much time on them. Sometim...

Hello dear readers! Today is time for 7th another edition of TRAVEL WITH MY ART SERIES .  I'm very excited to share this landscape/seascape painting with you because I feel that I managed to capture this location pretty well. At any rate, I have the feeling that I'm back in Zavala when I look at it, so I would say it turned out pretty well.   If you remember the idea of this series is to take you place with my art since travel is somewhat restricted these days and all that. Most of the time I will paint or illustrate places I have actually visited, but I might thrown in some surprises and share some places from my 'bucket list' as well.  This time my art will take you to beautiful Zavala on island Hvar, a place I visited a couple of times. You can read my original posts about Zavala here and here . This place has got some amazing beaches and I couldn't resist painting one of them. I worked hard on this painting and I'm getting a lot of enjoyment from it. The med...
