#Repost from @daysoutdrawing with @regram.app ... What can be a better conclusion to a day out drawing in the rain than a cup of hot chocolate ☕🍫 . Here is @romica_s drawing of a camomile plant (??? correct us if we are wrong) from when she took refuge in the green house in the upper garden at Quarry Bank Mill @nationaltrust during a weather hiccup aka very heavy rain 😉 ☔☔☔ . . #daysoutdrawing #daysoutdrawingMCR #drawing #drawdaily #plants #plantillustration #camomile #illustration #nationaltrust #quarrybankmill #manchester
It's crazy to think that in less than a month Nick and I are planning to finally move into our first apartment. I cannot express how grateful and blessed I feel that we can finally have our own little home. . . This dream had been long in the making . As a little girl I have been planning my interiors with a huge IKEA catalogue on the table. Did anyone else do that? Later in the early 2000s came a really old-fashioned CD-ROM for creating 3D models for architects. I loved building and decorating my dream houses. I really don't know how many I've "built" as teenager ^^. And now it's finally time. . . With moving comes re-evaluating what I really want to bring. So many sketchbooks, the odd orphaned sock, 3 pairs of thermal leggings I was convinced I'd need here in England (I didn't) and random stuff accumulated over the last 4 and a half years - it's time now to work through them all. . . In this process, I realised there are so many drawings I've never shared with you. This illustration resonates very much with me - a little hamster house for Nick and I. Hope it will bring a smile to your face as it did for me. . . Hope you are having a wonderful rest of the Sunday and a great new week . . Lots of love Romica . . #illustration_daily #sketchbook #pencildrawing #drawing #twitter
New video & New Series: Drawing in a stunning garden? 🌻 --- . . I just wanted to let you know that I have a new video coming out AND that I am starting a new series called "Days out Drawing" . Do you enjoy drawing en plein air? Or do you rather curl up in your PJs and get creative at home? I have to admit that I mostly draw at home from my imagination but last September I decided to give drawing outside a try. Nick (my husband) and I went to one of our favourite places in the area - Dunham Massey gardens which is part of the National Trust in the beautiful Cheshire countryside. . . If you like flowers, greenery, and drawing then this new video is for you. . . I also decided to push myself a bit by starting a new series which I call "Days out Drawing". This will help me to develop my skills by drawing from observation and take the time to really enjoy my environment - and bonus point - get myself out of the house and see amazing (new) places. Where would you draw outside, if you could teleport right now? . . Finding the Balance between "productive" drawing & drawing for joy . Don't get me wrong. I love drawing. But drawing and illustrating, to me personally, can be stressful if bound to expectations - and oh dear, I do have very high expectations on myself sometimes. On the other hand, I feel that drawing can also heal and be a form of meditation and relaxation. I hope this series will also help me to bring back the joy into my illustration practice. What do you think? Have you ever struggled to find a balance between productivity and joy in your creative practice? . . I hope you will enjoy this little trip to Dunham Massey . . If you do, please say hi, and leave a comment under the video. It makes the whole youtube journey worthwhile to connect with lovely people like you. . . . . @ntdunhammassey @nationaltrust #womenwithpencils #illustration_daily #womenwhodraw #illustrationartists #illustratorsoninstagram #freelanceillustrator #dowhatyoulove #instaartist #instaart #drawing #drawdaily #sketchbook #picturebooks #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitartist #pb
