4 hour biro pen drawing of my eye 👁 on A1 paper. Regretting adding the spirals as did it on a whim so will probably need to do something to make those look better

When I emphasize the slowness of my work process, I don't mean that I rest on my laurels and do nothing... /let's say it like that in English... The process is ongoing all the time; sawing the wooden bases, sanding, finishing the edges, priming with gesso, attaching the hanger and only then do we get to the actual painting. In this picture, that round birch plywood has been sanded and is waiting for the first layer of gesso to dry. I usually apply 2-3 coats of primer depending on the situation. Of course, you can do other work while it's drying... ✌️☺️🥰

Kun korostan työprosessini hitautta, en tarkoita, että lepäisin laakereillani tekemättä mitään... /sanotaankohan se noin englanniksi... Koko ajan on prosessi käynnissä; puupohjien sahaaminen, hiominen, reunojen viimeistely, pohjamaalaus gessolla, ripustuksen kiinnitys ja vasta sitten päästään itse varsinaiseen maalaamiseen. Tässä kuvassa tuo pyöreä koivuvaneri on hiottu ja se odottaa ensimmäisen gessokerroksen kuivumista. Laitan yleensä 2-3 pohjustusta tilanteen mukaan. Kuivumisaikana voi tietenkin taas tehdä muita hommia... ✌️☺️🥰

Over the Christmas and New Year's holidays, I spent the days with my friends who just got a kiln. We were learning to create with clay and to properly glaze and fire it.
You can expect to see much more clay mushrooms from now on.

Made this pygmy falcon sketch yesterday with Pigma brush pen, micron pens and Kuretake watercolor paint. I would not have been able to draw this so fast and accurate a couple of years ago. Lots of art practice really does pay off :)
