#blueskyartist #pastels

You cannot be perfect with the pastels.
Unlike pencils they don't allow precise lines. Unlike paints there is a limit on amount of colours that you can buy or mix.
And this intrinsic imperfection helps to reject the rules and silence the inner critic. And just have fun :)

Relandersgrund - former lightvessel, as I saw it one early September morning in Helsinki.

It's a copy of Jeannie Vodden' «Light Effects». I was studying how watercolours flow :)

It was the beginning of winter in the Gulf of Riga. After weeks of gray, boring, depressing weather we finally got sunny and cold weekend.
I went for a walk at the beach. And I took photo of these trees and bushes.

When you lie on your back in the forest
In July
And there is no rush, to problems, no thoughts, just pine trees quietly rustle above.

Old kerosene lantern.

I attended drawing classes in the basement of an art shop :)
The teacher is a young student from the Art Academy. We are the first people that he had ever taught, but he does it so well!
I've already learned a lot about shadows and lines!

This one is very old.
Maybe autumn of 2017th.
I used to live in St Petersburg then. And I found a small studio on Vasilievsky island providing art lessons.
Unfortunately the original didn't survive during my emigration. But I'm still very proud with this work :)

Lake near my childhood summer house. So many hours spent there, near the water. Daydreaming:)

Hi, everyone, I'm Ronis and I want to become an artist :)
This is my latest work.
It's from the watercolour course that I attend. We studied stones and how to paint them wet and dry.
