Plein Air The Shadows and Lights of Piran Slovenia is like a bonbonnière, a very small country but full of surprises, beautiful sites and cities. The historic coastal town Piran is one of these examples. Every summer we host a painting Masterclass there and we stay for 9 days and paint from morning till evening in Tartini’s house, a plays where the famous composer and violinist Giuseppe Tartini was born. I was so inspired by the views that I wanted to paint it and so in the early morning before teaching the Masterclass I woke up and in the fresh morning with seagull’s song surrounding me I painted the symphony of shadows and lights of Piran. #pleinairpainting #piran #landscape #oilpainting #art_seeking @bluereview @slovery_ @portorozpiran #sea #morning #painting @top.izlet @feelslovenia (at Piran - Pirano) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEEBOpxHBUn/?igshid=1r3ovvifhhggc

The more I do it, the more I love it. These 2-4 hour painting challenges give me so much joy and inspiration. I love the way the adrenalin starts rushing through my body and my mind gets laser focused.

A great memory and a learning experience from 5 years ago on @angelacademyofart. This was a third Barque drawing where I learned how to create an Illusion of space and form on a flat surface and how to get smaller forms work for bigger. I still love this drawing. #sketcheveryday #lovedraw #artistsharing #sketchdaily #drawdaily #instaart #sketchart #sketch #artwork #lovedrawing #nikanikis #mysketchbook #sketchbookdrawing #artsy #dailydrawing #artoninstagram #drawings #artdiscover #quicksketch #artist #arte #drawing #figuredrawing #realistart #dailysketches (at Florence, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8woI0iHarD/?igshid=5oxe333mmsty

A very unique experience drawing my lovely mom’s hand holding a flower for me. I am most grateful fur such an amazing mom @amina.mehanovic_anima.audiva I made this drawing six years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday especially as my mom is a workaholic, helping people everyday and giving all, she got tired and fell asleep when posing for me with her hand in the same position. What a dedication! I respect you mom for my heart <3 You can see this drawing exhibited amongst other work till 15. 3. 2020 in @ateljegalerija on Galuusovo nabrežje 29, Ljubljana. Hope to see you there :) #awesomemom #momson #drawing #pencildrawing #hand #flower (at Sevnica) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8s4ihmHgIC/?igshid=1l3y7qruy5r9w

I found some maps of hundreds of drawings from my Academic years in Slovenia. This is one of my favourite portrait drawings I did back than. Watercolour pencils power. This was a fun time of experimenting. What about you, do you prefer oil paintings or drawings? . . . #portraits #portrait_mood #portrait_planet #portrait_perfection #portraitdrawing #drawing #fineartportraiture #look #eyes #emotion #watercolourpencils #colours #paper #hair #green #female #beauty #beautiful #beautifulgirls #beautifulwomen #curlyhair #brownhair #inspiration (at Ljubljana, Slovenia)

Incounter with these ruins was life changing. 2300 steps and a reward of peace, bird singing, heavenly view and no tourists.
