Hello,

I often like to look at books and encyclopedia on nature to find inspiration.

For this one, I took the inspiration from the picture of a tree in the Serengeti savanna, where a bird called black-capped social weaver likes to make its nest. Many birds do so on the same tree (hence the name “social”), and the nests look like balls hanging a bit like in a Christmas tree :)

Hey there,

I recently took an online class by Laura McKendry, whose style I love and I find so loose and fresh, and for that class I made a couple of drawings about insects. I discovered how much fun they are to paint or draw!

This first one I painted with watercolor the basic shape I wanted to do, and then I drawed with pencils on top.

In this second one, I tried to paint them walking in different directions and to look more lively :)

Hello,

This post will be about frogs :)

Blue dendrobate

During a visit to a zoological garden, I discovered the amazingly blue dendrobate. I then tried to capture it with watercolor ink (which I think I managed quite well ;)).

From real to abstract

Being confined at home, I had time to work on improving my drawing skills, and experimented more abstract representations of pictures of animals. So I took my animal encyclopedia and picked the tree frog.
