1 subject, 3 paintings!

I am very preoccupied right now on trying different painting styles, and I made these environments as an exercise. The dark realistic one was the fastest to make, and the vector like one was more work to do. Still trying new techniques, hopefully I'll come with something more out of my comfort zone.

Flowers along my street

The beginning of April seems to open up the earth and explode in joy with beautiful flowers. After a long wet winter, the sun is doing its magic and tricks our senses with spring air and blossoms in the hat. The rabbit already had his show with a stunning Easter Sunday the other days. A 20 minutes walk on my street encountered happy discoveries at every little green corner, dandelions in full colour, daffodils with fresh perfume, cherry blossoms madness and golden forsythia  explosions. Every shrub had celebration clothes, some with vibrant magenta tones, white accents or pure violet in clusters. What a beautiful day to be outside!

The prize has arrived

I was very happy the other days to open my mailed package from Canson France and get the most desired supplies I won for the Daily Qwetch Competition: 2 sets of 50x65cm Canson Drawing and Watercolor  paper, 5 Canson mixed media A4 Sketchbooks,  3 professional Drawing sketchbooks and another 3 small sketchbooks. I'm all set up with paper for a couple of years! I should get another prize when all are full!

Celebration

Birthday Illustration inspired by the little people in my family. I seem to have a lot of friends and family members that have birthdays this month.

Happy Birthday to all of you!

Very proud to win a contest!

They say success comes after repeatedly failures! Well I'm proud to say that after a couple of art competitions that I flunked out this year I won the The Daily Qwetch contest, ending on the 5th place and winning most deserved Canson Supplies and other goodies. Cannot wait to open the mail and treat myself with another Christmas present. Life is good!

                       

Christmas Card Illustration

My Christmas Card Illustration was published in the Art Council of Surrey Magazine SPOTLIGHT, the December issue. The artwork was included  in the Christmas Card Exhibition held at  Newton Cultural Centre. You can still admire the submissions until December 20th.

Buffet-Illustration Competition

The Italian Organization Tapirulan is proposing an Illustration Competition with the theme Buffet. I was very excited to participate with my digital piece All you can eat-Buffet. The winners will be announced in the middle of Nov, which gives people a lots of time to look at the submissions and comment it. I would appreciate any comments for my illustration ! Thank you!
