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

 Hello! Time for another TRAVEL WITH MY ART FEATURE . This one is going to be a bit different because I'm going to share three paintings instead of one. So, it will be twenty-fourth, twenty- fifth and twenty-sixth post in this category all rolled into one. Moreover, since these three paintings all focus on different locations, we'll be travelling (with my art) to different places. Nevertheless, we won't exactly venture into the unknown as all of the locations we're going to visit are in Croatia. So far I have mostly shared art inspired by Croatia for this feature. Paint what you know best, they say. Croatia is what I know best since that is where I'm from. It makes sense to keep painting the scenery I'm most familiar with. Today was a sunny day (second in the row), so I took the opportunity to photograph this paintings. Let's get started. Scroll down to see my new landscapes. Zdravo! Vrijeme je za još jedno PUTOVANJE S MOJOM UMJETNOŠĆU (poveznice na stare ob...

 Hello readers. I've had a rather difficult time with my health lately, but I'll try to post daily this week. Maybe this hobby will do me well. Today I managed to get out of bed  to take a few photographs of some of my recent portrait sketches. In this post, I'll share those watercolour pencil portrait sketches with you. The brand I'm using is Staedtler (neither sponsored nor affiliated). Watercolour pencils enable me to work quickly, so they are a good choice for watercolour portrait sketches. Portraits are not one of my strengths. That's why I've been trying to do more portrait sketches.  Practice makes it perfect, as they say. Unlike my landscape art, I still don't have a definite style when it comes to portraits, I expect it might take months or even years before I develop one. It's alright, I'm not in a hurry. Art is a subject as vast and mysterious as the universe, one could spend more than one life time exploring just one aspect of it. I'm...

 Hello dear readers! How's life treating you? I hope you're enjoying yourselves. I still find it hard to believe that year 2022 is just days away. 2021 was an odd year, I'm not sure what to make of it. One of those years when time seemed to either fly by at record speed or to stand perfectly still. Like I said, it was an odd year. Like most years (or even some days), it was a mixture of good and bad. Well, I guess sometimes all we can do is to count our blessings and try to keep our heads up. Today I'll share with you five December outfits I haven't shared yet.  We'll also do a little fashion recap (by seasons). Let's start with these five December outfits.   OUTFIT #1: PINK AND GREY TONES I loved wearing this cute and feminine outfit. The combination of pink and grey works well.
