Art is a meditative relaxation experience.

Tranquil water landscapes

Here I am once again showing two of my aquarelle paintings. I have spent several hours trying to find my way of using the medium; still lots to learn, but I am improving, or I like to think I am. If interested to see the rest, they are behind the links.

My Latest Watercolor Creations

About, On my mind

I’ve been painting, so I haven’t been on the computer much – honestly, I spend way too much time here anyway. I’m trying to learn a new art medium, though! Check out my latest attempts if you wanna swing by my other blog ArtByRitva and take a look.

Interiors

As all my art studies are on a break due to Covid, well I have been lazy. I have had an idea, intention to do something, but when the push came to shove, nothing happened. Today I made an effort. I am looking for inspiration as it exists if it finds you working. I am rather proud of that fact that I got this far, not so much of the outcome, but they are not so bad, that I would not show them. Feel free to comment 🙂

So today I took my aquarelle colors out, took time to clear the easel from the other works I store one it. Then I started to play with colors, with the warm palette.
