Long time no see (again)!

Since the last time I posted, I went on holiday, came back, went to see a specialist for my lung problems and became a devout yogi. In between, I drew and I painted, mainly in my traveler's notebook (the gorgeous caramel coloured one that I presented in a previous post from Lady Falcon), one of my Hobonichi planner and a regular sketchbook.

When we went on holiday, we took our lady cat, Furryosa, to a cat hotel. She's not the most sociable cat there is so I was concerned that she would not get along with the other cats. While we were away, I kept thinking about her and I kept imagining what she was up to. I started drawing and painting her adventures there and I somehow got overboard with it all...




(Note to self: dedicate a complete page to the painting and do not write at the back, especially not with a fountain pen...)



And here is a random flamingo on route to visit some relatives and looking for his way through the Everglades...



And here we are, back in kitten mode and back with my trusted black markers...





Rock on, black metal kitty!




When we came back home, the weather was rainy... as expected. Still, we spent a day at an amusement park and managed to find some sunshine later in the day...


                                                


And here I am dutifully practicing yoga. Who would have thought I would love it as much. I have dedicated a notebook to studying the practice of yoga. And of course, any good books worth his salt should have illustrations, so I have been practicing drawing people (me) trying out different yoga poses and working on my breathing.




My yoga teacher: Furryosa




I'm hoping that, now that the new routine has been established, I will have more time to update this blog. In case you cannot wait and are dying to see what I'm up to, feel free to check out my Instagram account @wynterblackarts!

  1. Wynter! Your drawings are so cute! I recognized some of them from our watercolor group ^_^ Please, please, please keep posting! I've always wanted to buy a traveler's notebook for my watercolor paintings, but that one's a bit expensive here, so I'll just save that project for later :D I wish I could get back to yoga too but I can be really lazy! :(

    1. Carmel! thank you so much! I will definitely continue. You really motivated me! I have bought a few TN's, mainly from independent sellers who do amazing work. Many of them are on Etsy. I have also made my own (you may have seen the Captain America TN and this is one that I did myself). As for yoga, I love it but it takes a lot from me to get out my mat and start exercising. I am not going to a club (they are way too expensive in my area) so I do it with some videos on YouTube. My favourite one is Yoga with Adrienne. She's really fun and has amazing classes. I do the 30 day yoga camp and it's amazing!
