Home gouaches

I love gouache, but it's difficult to manage it and all the equipment when I sketch outside.

At home it's easier, and I have always have plenty of models.

From home sketchbook

I have a big-sized sketchbook which I use at home, sketching my most available models - my family.

Recently I scanned some of them - for me they are better reminders than any family photos album.

The routine of difficult times

I hate politics and don't like to listen to the news. I always joke that if the news will be important enough, they will find their way to me. Unfortunately, now the news found me and I found myself surfing at the news sites all over the web, desperate to find the answer. Actually, I'm tired to think and speak about it. I just hope so much that this war will end as soon as possible, that both sides will find another language except the language of force to talk to each other, I do believe there is a way to live together side by side.
You can say that sketching is a kind of escapism, but we all need to go on, so here they are, pieces of my routine.

everyday alarms get us everywhere and they are part of our routine...

Home sweet home

Here are some recent sketches done without getting out of my home with my usual models - my children and their friends. When I'm sketching at home, I can choose any tools, it's easier to experiment and sometimes to try something less familiar. There is nothing like home :)

At home

Some recent sketches of my family at home - the subject that never bore me :)

 

Two friends - digital and "real" (tools)

Here are two recent sketches of my daughter and her friend. First one done on iPad with Procreate:

Second one - with ink on paper:

There is nothing like "real" tools - you get dirty, you make mistakes (there is no "undo"). But still, digital toys are also nice.
