Plein air sketchbook sessions. 2021.

[Page 1: Watercolour sketches of an olive tree, a leafy olive branch with a single black olive and a far away small hill covered with more olive trees. Page 2: Gouache painting of pomegranates dangling from branches, a Madagascar periwinkle plant with a single pink blossom and a Costata Romanesco vine with a single, green zucchini still attached.]

“Still life”👁👄👁

[ID: Traditional illustration showing a portion of a cluttered wooden table. It’s a horizontal piece, drawn in one point perspective. Foreground starts from the right side with a partial view of three tarot cards (the Star, the Sun and the Moon) lying scattered on top of each other. From there the scene flows into a chaotic mess of various foods such as mushrooms, garlic bulbs, seeds, herbs and apple slices placed next to a basket of red apples. On the left side where it’s closer to the viewer, there’s a floral china cup that’s filled with a steaming hot beverage and behind that is a sack of spice followed by an orange pumpkin, couple of old candles and finally a brass teapot with a snail crawling on its handle. In the middle of the table there are some peculiar items like the corked potion bottle labelled “Animus Fortis”, tube of yellow paint, a carved stone, cluster of a mineral crystal and a crystal orb inside an open palm. There’s also an open bottle, inside of which a tiny red dragon is curled up, silently watching the viewer. And in the far right there’s a pot of sunflowers, each of which has a single eyeball in the middle of their flower heads.]

instagram [ID: Sketchbook spread containing a couple of mixed media drawings. On the left page there's a drawing of a person with light skin and long dark hair in a colourful jumper and a matching beanie. They're resting their chin on one hand whilst holding a coffee mug with the other as they sit slouched and gaze lazily at the abstract blobs that are flying out of the mug and circling around a single eye that's hovering in the air. On the right page there's a drawing of a young person with brown skin and pale blue hair, looking wide eyed at the open book they're holding. From the pages of the book small fiery orbs are ascending and gradually growing in size as they go higher up, taking the appearance of the sun.]

“Rams in a thicket”

[ID: Stylised art depicting four bighorn sheep (a large mountain sheep with curved horns) running through a stand of trees. The trees are painted rather abstractly with watercolours, while the sheep are drawn in a semi realistic style using black pencil only and they appear to be floating on air right beneath the canopy. Above the canopy, there's a triplet of eight-pointed stars, they vary in size and are coloured in shades of red. The background is plain white.]

I’m going to leave the city one day and I’m going to live where there’s snow and sea. I’m going to rescue hens and sheep and cows and I’m going to name them after characters from Tolkien books. I’m going to have a scarecrow whose arms will hold seeds and other yummy things. I’m going to walk the same trail, greet the same trees and I’m going to absorb it all in slow motion, knowing that a moment never repeats.

Clarence Gagnon inspired acrylic painting on what used to be a cookie box. ❄️

[ID: A tiny acrylic painting of a snowy landscape in sunlight with few naked trees and bushes. There are some blue tinted shadows on the middle ground and the background is completely obscured in dark shadow.]

Last of the 2020: Binge listened to Magnus Archives, balanced out with Andrew Bird songs, warmed hands with coffee at five, forwent sleep and watched the days grow long.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [ID: Graphite and coloured pencil drawing of a light skinned person with long dark hair, wearing a colourful jumper and a matching beanie. They’re resting their chin on one hand whilst holding a coffee mug with the other as they sit slouched in a bored manner and gaze lazily at the abstract blobs that are flying out of the mug and circling around a single eye that’s hovering in the air.]

Something from the past.

[ID: Black ink drawing of a small, humanlike creature with an acorn head. They’re in mid jump, holding an oak twig like a staff and wearing a sirwal and a coat with triangle detailing on the hem. They have three fingers on each of their hands and their expression is slightly surprised with round pupilless eyes and an open mouth.]
