Water colour on non water colour paper, how fun. The sketch honestly looked a lot better than with the colour in my opinion but what can you do I need practice
The hand on the left had changed so many times I debated removing it entirely. They don’t even look like their in the same style, why is Amerie’s head so much bigger than Mairwyn’s
feeling blue and inspired by the beautiful ink works of @ullathynell
Happy New Year et une très bonne année :)
Time is running
Watercolour on paper
when it seems like everything is grey and dull - remember to let the colours in. The world is beautiful and so are you; happy holidays everyone!
Why y’all so negative?

The ‘upside-down’ jellyfish (Cassiopea sp.) thrives in near-shore marine habitats. It is commonly found on seagrass beds or in mangrove forests, resting its exumbrella against the sediment - exposing its oral arms to the sunlight. Why this fellow is sunbathing all the time? Its oral arms carry symbiotic zooxanthellae, dinoflagellates (marine algae) of the genus Symbiodinium that assimilate carbon and nitrogen for this gelatinous friend.

where can I find the past? I would like to say thank you for all it has given to me
Missing my home and my cat today.
Arrived safe & sound in Cambridge! America is crazy, but I think we are on good terms. The sheer amount of cookie choices in the supermarket is probably one of the more important reasons for that.
“Herr Janosch, wie nutzt man den Frühling richtig? In dem man mit geöffneten Augen den Augenblick nutzt. Und dabei natürlich den Überblick behält. Am besten wont man dabei in gehobener Strandlage, dann hat man dazu auch noch den Ausblick.” - oder draußen, im Garten mit Sonne und Farben!
I really love fall with all its rain, and colours and thunderstorms and cosiness. But thinking back to summer on one of those rainy days while being stuck on my term paper feels so surreal.

Chinese man playing cards in the Big Bayan Tree parc at Gaotian village near Guilin, China.
this one’s from France as well, my watercolour study of a beautiful nerium oleander got interrupted by a refreshing summer rain
Visit of the Big Bayan Tree parc in the Gaotian village near Guilin. The tree in this parc is apparently about 1400 years old - according to our Chinese friends, you´ll live a 100 years when you walked a loop around it!
My best friend and I also traveled to China this summer :) This is a sketch I made on our trip to the Great Wall, we hiked from the Mutianyu section towards the wilder part in Jiankou. It was super hot and tiring but the views were incredible and absolutely worth it! We both really loved the day, it's definitely one of those memories that you keep forever.
Hollyhocks from our neighbors garden. The photo was actually taken by my best friend Wallli Rehman, check out his photography blog if you like:

I finished my undergrad in the beginning of June and am starting with masters in September, so I am using the summer to travel a bit :) In the next posts I will share some impressions from my drawing diary, this is the first one from a trip to southern France (Frontignan). Hope you´re all having a great summer!
