I'm super into colored pencils right now.

In the first photo I held a junk journal but didn't mention the painting on it. It's a fishing girl (1884) by Helene Schjerfbeck, a Finnish painter from our golden era. She was educated in #ateneum and she painted e.g. in Paris like many artists in 1800s did.

Read more about her incredible life and career from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helene_Schjerfbeck . It's so nice we can share links here!

Helene is one of the most famous artists of #Finland but I have no idea how well she is known else where.

The painting is currently in an exhibition in #jyväskylä. Read about that & see more photos:

I've been so heavily focused on my big drawings I needed some calligraphy sketch therapy.

Watercolor is a medium I rarely use despite loving how it looks. Too much preparation and waiting for the paper to dry. Plus I'm obsessed with ink drawing.
