Easter and blue fairy
Easter is here and I'm enjoying it. I finished the 3 fairy in the series. Just one more left and the series is completed. I really like how this turned out, cause it blue and I love that butterfly. I have tried to capture this butterfly a few times when we've been at the tropic gardens but for some reason it always flies when I am about to take my photo. Maybe I am just not meant to photograph it but draw it instead :)
We have sunny days here and I feel so lighter and happier. Spring is my favourite season of the year and I can't wait for to get started and you can be outside, walking barefooted in the grass... sitting late at night at the beach listening to the waves and speculate about your life.

Breaking Lily
My latest drawing, Breaking Lily. It's a drawing from a month back that I

turned out, and loved creating the wall. I have do that again soon,
that's for sure :)

All new Caran d'Ache Pastel Pencils
Last week I made a fantastic discovery - the local art shop Creas has new pastels available.
I'm a big fan of Caran d'Ache pencils, I find them amazing. I use both their Graftwood graphite pencils as well as Supracolor pencils. I am yet to find a product from them I don't like.
These new pastels are amazing. They are extremely creamy and nice to work with. The different colours blends in nicely and the colours actually stick to the paper when applying new layers. It's a problem I've often had before; layers disappearing a bit when adding more layers on top. These Caran d'Ache pastels aren't so bad at this, which makes them easier to work with.
Another big plus with these pastels are the fact they are lightfast and the tones you can get are amazing. I love the golden matte tones, especially the dusty lilac/purple, Aubergine, and the neutral peach/brown tones.
You can see the colour palette here:

All in all I am very happy with these pastels and highly recommend them.
This was my first drawings using the new pastels, using only those.

Vacation mode
I am still a bit absent at my blog, which you can tell if you are still visiting. My life been kind of up and down for a while and I find it hard to find the time and inspiration to really blog with thought.
Summer finally arrived here late July and with that came the headaches I summer from through out mid summer. It's been pretty bad this year for me and I've spend most days with a headache unfortunately. It is why I look forward to Autumn and already am in the Autumn mood.
A few drawings from past weeks:
This week I got some new pastel pencils and I can't wait to show you my review of them one of the upcoming days!:)

My Summer so far + lots of new work
So far my Summer has been great. I was able to swim in the ocean for the first time last weekend and it was fantastic. I love the ocean and there is nothing quite like swimming in the open.
We've had lots of rain and wind here but I still am loving out summer, since I love rain.
I've had a few busy weeks drawing a lot. Had much to catch up on and tonight the last commission will be done for a while. Then it's Summer break and a little drawing break from me.
Here's past weeks drawings all in one:
Pink Angel Pinup
New very girly pinup angel to celebrate my 4th year as independent with my tubes - yay.

Flower Girl Plumeria:
I finally got back to my flower girl series, which I started 6 years ago. This year I found my dusty soft pastels and began using them again. It's been a couple of years without any usage of them and it does feel good to be back. I forgot why I fell in love with them so many years ago but it's slowly coming back to me.
I've been having lots of issues in the past with small hard pieces in my pastels which would always ruin part of the drawing. After getting back to my pastels I've been making my pastel pencils into powdered pastel which actually works really good, for the larger areas such as the skin needing to be even.
I highly recommend doing this.
The model is Emi, who took the pose/photo for me a couple of years ago.
I am very happy to have her be my first of the new round of Flower Girls - she's the 7th flower girl in the row.
Little Prayers
My cute little niece posed so sweet the last time I
saw her. I really loved her emotions showing, she's really good at it.
I originally wanted her to have small angel wings
but somehow it didn't look right and maybe it speaks more without them.
