I'm going to get one last post just before it's over for the #marchmeetthemaker challenge, although I might still continue with some of the prompts on my own afterwards, as i think there are still things to say for me and it is such a good list of topics to post about. 💬 So, one of the prompts was whether I am a full-time or part-time maker. The truth is, it's not even part time, as my art is really only the thing I do in my very few and rare free moments, between the main job, parenting and other responsibilities and chores. One of the ways how I try to keep up with practicing my art and not letting it get too rusty, is sketching on my commute to/from work. 📑✏️ I always have a sketchbook in my bag that goes with me every day, where I draw people on the underground every now and then. 👱👦🏿👧🏼👩🏻 #sketch #portrait #people #faces #peopleoflondon #sketchbook #commutesketch #commutersketchers #urbansketch #urbansketchers #pencil (at Westfield Shopping Mall) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvsHekdg2zm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=169h03m9mweko

I'm mixing up the sequence of my #marchmeetthemaker posts since there's only two days left to post. Favourite to make for me are portraits of people. Human body and face is such an interesting subject. Sometimes I think I can read the person's character from their face, guess what they are like and what they were thinking at the time. #watercolor #watercolour #sketch #portrait #watercolor_guide #waterblog #art_we_inspire #inspiring_watercolors #watercolour_channel #watercolor_guide #art_collective #art_gallery #art_spotlight #акварель #портрет (at Notting Hill) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvpH4fPgd_5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r93y7imqkz4g

My favourite part of the process is going back into some paintings and adding shiny details with pearlescent or metallic watercolours.✨ 💎 Here I used #coliro paints to finish off my 'Beacon of hope' painting. 🗽 #watercolor #watercolour #illustration #lighthouse #beaconofhope #beaconoflight #sketch #watercolor_guide #art_collective #art_gallery #art_spotlight #art_we_inspire #inspiring_watercolors #watercolour_channel #marchmeetthemaker (at Notting Hill) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvkUlxcgh6C/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vcdsjrhuiobo

Less glam side... #marchmeetthemaker The real life at and around my art desk. As a mother of a very energetic toddler who has given up the nap by the age of 2 and a half, I don't get even those short moments of peace during the daylight when I could sit down and paint. Scroll through the gallery and you will see the real life scenes of how this drawing was done. I started it one evening, when my son was already asleep. Last week my little one was ill so he took a nap for the first time in months, and I managed to start painting this sketch. However, when he is his normal self, it is more like in the last photo, which is what was going on under my desk at one point when I tried to draw during the weekend. It is quite hard to draw when your feet are being tickled! 🤣 #sketch #portrait #artistmum #dayofartist #одинденьсхудожником #художникзаработой #рабочееместохудожника #drawing #artistdesk (at Richmond, Surrey, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvdpN2aAkYY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fdnkune4fn3a

This is me, the person behind my art, my hands at work. Covering more than one prompt with this post. I love lots of light, shiny things and the spring in London (check out the blooming trees outside the window!). 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 #marchmeetthemaker #spring #artist #artistbehindtheartwork #handsatwork #artistdesk #drawing #artistatwork https://www.instagram.com/p/BvRh1YogQQ-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14omfbdpxgi21

Very much behind the #marchmeetthemaker challenge, but having to try and fit this in between the full time job and being a mum is practically impossible when by the time I get home it's already dark, and I only have weekend to take the photos. 🎨 Anyway, here are some of my favourite tools. #watercolor #watercolour #artist #watercolourartist #tools #artisttools #paints #watercolourpaints #paintbrushes #coppertheme (at Chiswick, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuwKcRFAh9T/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1op7zdyhj49al

Slightly late to the #marchmeetthemaker party, but I hope to try and keep up more or less. So, how did I start... I used to draw as long as I remember since childhood and most of school, and even had the typical artistic kid dreams of professions, however I was discouraged from those and since I equally had mathematical abilities, ended up going into more of an engineering role and throughout the high school and university years ended up stalling more and more in my creative growth.😞 I ended up with a severe case of an artist's block and struggled to do any art for ages since uni. The thing that got me out of it, was coming across an international movement called #urbansketchers.📗 It gave me a starting point, the subject, the freedom to simply enjoy the process and a reason to get out and draw. ✏️ With practice I was getting better steadily and eventually started venturing off into other subjects and themes. The one thing I always stayed loyal to was sketching and watercolours. #urbansketch #urbansketching #sketch #artgraf #liquidgraphite (at Turnham Green) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bug_C8qgetr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u3wi6l7vz70v

When you don't paint for months, and then finally get a chance, you make a total mess of it, but are still somehow happy with the result, especially since it is just an experiment I'm setting up for something new I've been wanting to try for a while. 🎨 #watercolor #watercolour #watercolour_gallery #painting #art_collective #art_we_inspire #portrait #watercolor_guide #watercolour_channel https://www.instagram.com/p/Br8AOPpnXUO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10hby45gk586r

Slightly surprising results for the year, but I thought I might draw the hypothetical line as a summary before I come into the new 2019 year with new ideas, new projects and new plans. Last few months have been tough with focus on other things and very dry on the artistic front, so now I am trying to battle the artist block and find the flow again. But with the holidays and festive season coming up, I'm looking forward to indulging myself more in the creative process. #bestnine2018 #watercolour #illustration #illustrator #artist #bestofnine2018 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrhjBsRHzxi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iuauhtkva183
