Back from the family vacation

Hanukah is over, and we're back to routine. Here are some sketches I did during our family vacation. We went to LaPlange, village at Alps, for some ski and fresh snow and it was fantastic! Sorry, but the only sketches I've drawn were while being at a taxi - an airport, airplane, and bus. It was too pity to sketch when I had a week only for skiing.

Marina Grechanik Artist, Illustrator, Urban Sketcher, Art Educator Hello, my name is Marina Grechanik, I graduated from an Art College in Mink, Belorussia. I’m an illustrator, artist, urban sketcher, art educator and owner of an art studio in Jaffa. I would always draw and sketch from time to time. There were some periods in my life when I didn’t have ‘proper’ time for my "art", running between job and family. Then I decided to put a sketchbook into my bag and to draw between my daily tasks.

Few years after that I initiated the  USk Israel group  - regularly leading sketchcrawls, coordinating the Urban Sketchers Israel blog and organized and curated a few group exhibitio...

Having fun with Arrtx acrylic markers

I’m used to working with a very limited palette, especially when I pack for urban sketching and try to keep things as light as possible. With 60 colors, you get around 10 variations of each color, with different values, saturation levels, and warm and cool hues. This allows me to work with the markers almost like I would with real paints! Second — I love their brush tip and the smooth, stable ink flow, without needing to pump the marker. The pigments vary — some are more opaque, others more transparent; some are highly saturated, while others are more “pastel.” I learned how each color behaves and how to use its strengths. They also combine beautifully with other water-based tools — watercolor, gouach...
