HELLO!
Today I'd like to show You a drawing of Santa Croce in Florence. When I saw a certain photo on Pinterest (a Pin described as "Santa Croce, Florence" by user Maro), I thought it might be a good challenge to draw it. And it was. Not only because of my problems with drawing a perspective but also with dealing with the heat (it was so hot I understood how snowman must feel when Spring is near).
So, below, the first two photos shows phases of drawing.
HELLO!
Last time a romance between an acrylic paint and a black pen happened was in the end of 2024. So, I thought it'd be great to create another one. I came up with a work showing a woman with a wreath on her head.
I hope You'll be able to feel the summer vibes from the picture which is visible below.

Firstly, I applied colours like yellow, green, and red on a paper with acrylic paints.
HELLO!
You may find today's post a little bit unusual.
What's not unusual is my proclivity to doodling on anything. This time I took small cardboards from a teabox. I mean the ones which divide a space in a teabox, so it's possible to maintain the order between teabags. That's why I called this little project "tea doodles".
So far, I draw five of them. I let the pens had the time of their lives on these little cardboards.
They are below, look at them boldly.

Among leafy ornamentation one lady is whispering something to the ear of another lady. One may wonder why the whispering one is having a green hand. Is she a fairy?
HELLO!
Here's a woman. Her face remains unknown as she's rear-faced to viewer. She's focused on a landscape beneath her.
This is a vision I draw on a paper recently. Soon I felt a need to do something interesting with it.
By "something interesting" I meant using pastels (both dry and oil), and also watercolour crayons. I craved to experiment with them.
I started with dry pastels. Then I used watercolour crayons for womanly silhouette.
HELLO!
With the beginning of the March I went on the stroll during which I took a few photos. One of them shows naked branches. It inspired me to create a surreal graphics based on this photo of trees. It was foreseeable. To be fair, it would be strange, if I didn't make one.
Anyway, enjoy!

| A mentioned photo showing naked branches. Beginning of the March, 2026. |
I cropped the fragment of this photo, and started experiments. Mostly with gradients.
Those experiments resulted in the soft rainbow effect.
So soft, one may think it's a rainbow mist.
