Day 4 prompt and all I could think of was ice cream.

Day 24 – Treats #WorldWatercolorMonth
Treats! I thought I try something different. I decided I need to start experimenting more! I love how the girl on the right turned out. Not what she expected…
Inktober Day 29 – Double
I’m going for double trouble.
Inktober Day 21 – Drain
They were both so drained from playing outside that they needed a break.
Although I am also drained of being sick, which I have been the last couple of days, so this is also my current state…
Inktober Day 14 – Clock
It´s ice cream o´clock… again.
My craving for sweets proportionately increases with the decrease in daylight hours.
The living room table is showing traces of inktober as well.
Inktober Day 8 – Star
Who´s the star? She or her ice cream?
Ice cream – work in progress
The reasons for the few updates lately are that I simply did not have time to sit down and draw, and when I found time, then I was stuck with this watercolor painting.
I have been on it for more than a week now and still haven´t figured out the background… I ate a lot of ice cream in between too, to look for inspiration… still looking, so I will keep on eating until I find it.
Ice cream – take 3
I was sketching while watching a movie. This is the result. I think I will go get some ice cream tonight.
Ice Cream Cravings
It has been sunny second day in a row! That´s when those ice cream cravings come up. At my new favourite ice cream parlour, conveniently just a 5 minute bike ride from home, the scoops are massive. Two are pretty much a meal. Bigger is better!
This actually could be me. I admit.
Ice cream girls
I found my sketch book again with the ice cream drawings I started at the beginning of the year. As I was bored and tired today – and had a sweet craving – I thought I add another one to it. I am also trying to draw and paint more loosely… so this was my evening exercise.
I feel like the girls are too focused on their ice cream to notice anything else around them.
#WorldWatercolorMonth – Sweet treats
Actually I did this 2 weeks ago but didn´t post it because I didn´t like how it turned out. What do you think?
Nevertheless I feel like ice cream now. Now that I am back in Reykjavík, I might just go for an evening ísbíltúr.
Ice cream in Malinalco, Mexico
So my time in Mexico is unfortunately over and I am back in Iceland after an amazing 4 day stop over in New York city!
But, I am not done with Mexico yet! There are still so many impressions I want to bring to paper. The sketch book I had with me is still only half full, so I will continue to fill it up with my “snapshots”.
Here is my “self-portait” with ice cream on my last day in Malinalco. The ice cream was delicious. Orange-chocolate and cookie flavour.
Visit at the ice cream parlor
The last picture in my series of ice cream dedicated drawings for the moment. I am pretty sure I will revisit them at some point. I think it was a fun theme to practice drawing and those water colours on.
I was bored the other night at a friends place where I tried out a beautiful set of Japanese watercolours. The inspiration was a photo of the Valdís Ice cream parlor in Reykavik. They bake their own waffles in the back so you always have that delicious waffle smell in your nose upon entering. The ice cream is quite delicious too.
I´ll not only take a break from ice cream but also the land of ice – Iceland – as I ´ll be heading to Mexico for 2 months! To do what, I don´t know yet, but my priorities are to learn Spanish and to get some sun! But I also have my drawing stuff packed and I will see what I come up with while on the road.
Until then, enjoy your ice cream!
Sunday brunch with ice cream
Last day of the week and I thought that a nice pancake lunch would be perfect to finish it off. So dig in!
Had a lot of fun doing these 7 day drawing challenge and might do another one soon. I also ended up buying more watercolours last week so lets see what happens.
Relax and enjoy your Saturday ice cream
I love whiskey. Especially the slightly smoky kinds like Talisker and the more well rounded ones like Glenlivet are perfect on a cozy evening.
Vanilla ice cream is the perfect starter for this Saturday night.
Your well deserved after-work-treat
I am really enjoying this themed 7 day challenge. 2 more days to go.
Finally its Friday and what is better than a cold one straight after work I thought?
Extra sugar on Thursday
The week is more than half way over, so you might need a little bit of extra sugar to keep you going until the weekend.
These ones are more of the typical Icelandic style kind of ice creams that you get at most ice cream parlors. Soft ice cream in a box with any kind of topping you can think of – From Mars bars, to Oreos, Smarties, Skittles, coconut bars, biscuits and much much more and everything topped with chocolate and caramel sauce. Don´t forget the cream!
If that doesn´t give you a sugar high then I don´t know.
