Sun is shining! Wet & Dry prompt of the #WorldWatercolorMonth list.
I love pelicans. Saw plenty of them in Mexico and also in Guatemala where they were surfing the waves of the Pacific Ocean. It made me happy everytime I saw one.
Actually I wanted to draw pelicans for a while now but always postponed it. But here they are, watching the girl… or waiting for the fish?
Still following the remainder of the #WorldWatercolorMonth prompt list.
Therefore in tune with my aerial theme – Pole fitness in the jungle.
I was busy sitting in the sun the last 2 evenings and it was good, today it is back to the usual rain. Therefore, before the sumerfeeling fades, the prompt for day 15 of #WorldWatercolorMonth – On the beach.
Went on an unplaned weekend trip to the country side with no internet connection. Only beer, horses and hot tub which was fabulous, so I am three days behind with drawings.
There was no forest, only a lot of green fields and mountains all around. So this is my aerial acrobatics themed take on the prompt of day 12 – forest animals – for the #WorldWatercolorMonth
Day 11 of my aerial hoop & acrobatic themed watercolours. Prompt of yesterday is Beautiful Blooms. I am trying to catch up today with day 12.
Slightly behind, but getting there. Light and luminous prompt of yesterday. Aerial move on a chandelier? Why not.
Edit: I was clearly too lazy yesterday to do a background for this. So when I saw it again today, I felt like I needed to do something immediately about those random yellow blobs. I like it a lot better now. What do you think?
Before:
Credit for the mountain goat goes to the boyfriend aka my “creative director” as he likes to call himself.
Some fun for day 8. A superman pose on the pole. It is more difficult to get into this pose than it might seem. At least for me it was always a semi-struggle.
So here a flying pose with flying things, just for the fun of it. The little black spots are bumblebees… or flies…
From the hoop, through the hoop. Or something like that. Actually might be fun to try it.
#WorldWatercolorMonth day 7.
I was not quite sure what to do for todays prompt, so I settled for a simple pole pose – a cocoon.
This is not what I wanted it to look like at all but I did not manage to get it from my head onto the paper. I don´t have time for a second attempt but I might try to redo it at a later point on watercolour paper to get a better flow.
The move is called the side amazon, in different shades of blue.
Day 4, I’m really enjoying this.
That could be the target that the cup cake girl from yesterday was shooting at, what do you think?
I like the look of cup cakes but I actually don’t like eating them. They always seem more promising than what they taste like most of the time. However as I think they are pretty, I thought they give this the perfect touch of colour. I imagine her throwing her leg back and flipping those cup cakes against a target on the wall.
I did pole fitness for about 4 years and it was so much fun, but my back never got this bendy.
I decided to take a break of Mexico, or do it simultaneously, and to take part in the #WorldWatercolorMonth.
I am going to follow the prompt list but have an aerial acrobatics theme throughout. I started with pole fitness years ago until my wrists didn´t take it any more, then switched to aerial hoop 2 years ago but have been on a break since January because of bad wrists once again. I really miss it therefore the theme. Hope I’ll be back to it in August though.
Just as the title says, it rained that day. The rainy season started slowly at the beginning of May, so the sunny days were interrupted by several showers. I loved going there because of the amazing variety of tasty fruit and vegetables.
What´s your favourite thing about markets?
And the outlined sketch.
I saw this curious pair one afternoon in Malinalco while strolling around. They seemed to be on their way home from the park where the gardener had been working. The Bobtail lazily trotted along beside him, stopping to sniff every corner along the way.
The street dog got curious and came to say hello.
Our next door neighbours. They never complaint about us listening to loud music.
I really love strolling through the market and eat tacos, sweats and whatnot. We bought some really delicious fish from this lady, fresh from the local river. She gutted them right there.
There is this absolutely lovely tiny old lady in my street. She must be 75+ and is half my size. She is there every day all day, sitting in the sun with her two dogs, selling whatever they have straight from the garden. Sometimes her friend, man about the same age, joins her for a chat.
I go almost daily to buy mangos, avocados or granadillas which I had never tasted before but now love.
