Warm summer night sketches

I used to do croquis drawing at Örebro University. Croquis is quick sketches of live models. 15 and 30 seconds, 1, 2 and 5 minutes poses. Makes your creative brain work and sharpen up. It feels like you have done 2 hours workout afterwards. Great feeling being tired from drawing. I love it and miss it a lot. I am hoping to find something here in Prague so I can take it up again.

In the meantime I was sitting out on our balcony the other night and did some warm summer night sketches with pencil.

Tried with charcoal as well but I know I am very rusty in this field..

Mamma Mi bought some cool charcoal pens last time I saw her.. How is it going?

I will during the week add new fun warm hats in my web-shop. The hats will also be sold at Christmas markets here in Örebro. New this year for me is that I am making baby hats since I got a lot of requests. I find it hard to make baby hats because they look so small, it is hard to remember how small babies are. Also this week big happiness over at new book release from my favorite children book illustrator Sven Nordqvist. "Vägen Hem" a wonderful book with amazing illustrations. I have also bought and planted some new plants inspired from some nice park arrangements here in Örebro. Now lets hope that all the deer in the forrest will not eat all of these, as I forgot to check wether or not these are tasty to them. In our country-house in the forrest they tend to come and eat everything they like and they ...
