Layer after layer

March 25, 2017March 25, 2017

still life - l

I sometimes wonder: are we adding layers to build, or are we removing them to seek the center? Are we moving inwards out outwards? What lies behind and what lies beyond?

Spring time is the time to open up, to blossom, to do back bends and strong side stretches 😍 I always find myself repeating these pattern with the seasons. Can anyone relate? . We might practice something similar this afternoon on the Zoom class. Let me know if you didn't receive the link and would like to join and I will forward it to you! Classes are free, and donations are also welcome. . . #yoga #yogaonline #yogaclass #yogalove #yogavideo #home #move #stretch #breathe #namaste #livingroom #feelgood

Free print at home coloring illustration! This drawing is a reminder for you to accept wherever you are, know that all is temporary. Just like the seasons, just like the breath, just like any experience. So try and find something that makes you feel good, travel inwards and get to know yourself. Balasana, childs pose, is a great way to do so. And also coloring is very soothing. If you have a printer at home or access to a printer and would like to color this drawing, just send me a message and I'll send you a png version of the illustration. Big virtual hug. . . . . #illustration #coloring #printathome #color #art #namaste #balasana #yoga #yogalove #yogalife #plants #drawing #rest #relax #feelgood #breathe

Happy Spring! Pause and watch life flourish. Happy Mother's day! Today we celebrate mothers where I'm from, so here's to all mothers, and to all creators and care-givers. Lots of love, you are a goddess ❤️ . . . #spring #illustration #instaart #goddess #utkatakonasana #creator #flower #green #nature #mothernature #healer #love #mother #blossom #bloom #digitalart #characterdesign #painting #sketch #glow

Cut-outs, interpretation of pose. This week, instead of drawing the model, we cut shapes. It was an interesting process since in 12minutes, without using a pencil, you had to visualise what shapes you want to keep and what to extract and then directly use the knife to cut into the paper to create form. Here are some of mine. . . #lifedrawing #cut #shapes #pose #posture #characterdesign #character #concept #color #woman #model #instaart #girlsinanimation

When you cannot be brave or strong, be love It will lead you back home to yourself. @kianaazizian . . . #love #fullmoon #illustration #tree #walk #path #belove #instaart #digitalart #digitalartist #girlsinanimation #paint #grey #moon #cycle #morningwalk

This Feb I am back in college! Taking an intense course in animation 🤓 it's so nice to expand my knowledge in that field. This is a selection of this week's life drawing session, each drawing is 2 or 3minutes long. We do this to capture the gesture and emotion of a pose. I'm loving these practical classes and especially having more time to draw again! . . . #girlsinanimation #sketch #sketchdaily #lifedrawing #draw #illustration #figure #movement #instaart #student #quicksketch

This year I found a new love for leafless trees! Especially with the low winter light that creates this golden effect on the top of the tree. So I am trying to capture it into my art, and here is one of my quick 30minutes painting using virtual ink on a screen. . . . #winterlight #nature #walk #painting #digitalpainting #illustration #instaart #tree #trees #naturelover #goldenlight #gold #bluesky #paint #sketchoftheday
