I will be discussing the weather. Because Montreal is insane.
A week and a half ago I was still wearing a sweater and now it’s 39 celsius.
Not that I complain. We live through the Weather app. Winter or summer.

Last year I opened an Etsy shop for my pet portrait commissions, it took one holiday season to realize that having two websites, two insta accounts, two shops was not going to be sustainable. Plus, after the Holidays, things got very quiet on that front. So much that I forgot about it. Yesterday however, I got an order and it’s the most handsome dog ever.
It had been ages since I drew a portrait so I was rusty and I had to do a lot of pencil warmup exercises. It’s a long process, I’m glad I have my easel and my standing desk. Such luxuries. .
I actually need glasses, bras, panties and shoes but at least I have my standing desk.
What are you working on?

Some strange switch turned on that I haven’t been able to stop drawing, painting and simply exploring.
I think maybe I jumped a milestone where my drawings began to please me more. I’m working my way through a small sketchbook but also, I’m using my iPad constantly. I’m testing, experimenting and playing. I try to recreate my analog work digitally and viceversa.
This is one of the pieces I did digitally. I did the whole thing on the iPad which in turn inspired my blog post Procreate and Me (link in bio). Did you catch it?
I’m joyfully searching for what I love to do the most. I used to strive so much, constantly trying to get better and feeling behind but these days I make a mess and feel happy. If I don’t like something I glue the pages in the sketchbook or gesso them. I delete drawings from the iPad. I’m losing the “preciousness” of using my papers and sketchbooks. It’s a liberation. .

I wrote a blog post titled Procreate and Me, where I share my journey with embracing digital art and how I combine it with traditional media. I list all my tools, recommended classes and a few of my own thoughts.
For many years I resisted digital painting as much as I resisted electronic music… now I can’t get enough of beautiful elegant electronic beats nor of the flexibility of my iPad pro.

How do you feel about digital art? It’s a never-ending debate in my head!

But the oil pastels call me!

Oil pastel and gouache. #foodillustration
Today I didn't feel like doing anything at all. It helped that it's a Canadian holiday. I went on my first run ever in my life and that was it. Took Boris for a walk and updated some blog posts. Then at 3pm I came downstairs, curled up on the couch with my dog and slept for an hour and a half.
It's very rare that I have no desire to do anything but I just went with it. .
Do you allow yourself days off? For real?

Seeking something but I don't know what. Lines, colours , expressions emerge but I can't pin-point in what direction they want to go.
.
Excited by a possibility of working with one of my favourite artists!
.
Maybe this year I can invest in my practice in a different way.
