Adventures on digital art

Adventures on digital art - digital painting from Susana Tavares on Vimeo.

This is my digital adventure for this week, it's really been a pleasure to explore new ways of making art.

Because I have a lot of questions about what I use, here it is:
App - procreate
iPad Air
Bamboo pen

Enjoy!

Original charcoal big drawings

Some days I just want to go to my studio table and work with my simplest materials, charcoal, watercolor and white paint. Simplicity gives me a sense of space and really smooth my mind while I move my pencil through the page and breath deeply, I allow myself to enjoy the moment of creation.

It feels so good :)

My kids are on vacations, so I will slow down and enjoy their presence in the house and have fun ;)

Next week you can count with one more blog post, showing my new fairy calendar for 2016 and today I will announce the winner for the spot on the Enchanted class yehheiiii!!!!

Wishing you a wonderful day

Nest

My happy gang is in the house ;) the school is starting on September 16, so in this times I learn that I have to make it easy for everyone, including me ;) Going in the flow and be happy are the words right now.

Last night when everything was quite I have sited on my studio, checked my emails and gave a big deep breath like I was centering myself, closed my eyes and I saw a big shade of pink paint being spread on piece of paper. This vision remainds me that I was missing my painting time, so I follow my vision and start painting with a pink ink and a stamp.

I have created this painting in the middle of inks, paintbrushes, bits of papers, bits of gold and flowers.

I can see in this "Nest" painting how proud I am with my nest, 3 little birds growing everyday and I am there to give them a hand and loads of love :)

 Like a tree firmly planted on the ground with big roots and flowers growing and branches that capture the light ( what a beautiful vision), and spreading love all around me.

I will finish this post, asking you to check out the new art prints in my shop, they are FULL!!!!! 

And you ask full of what? and I say FULL of colour, FULL of meaning and FULL of quality ;)

A big hug for you

wishing you a wonderful weekend

Published on Somerset Studio Gallery

I was published in the Summer issue of Somerset Studio Gallery, yehhheiiiiiii!!!!!! 

A beautiful magazine full of mixed media projects. Check out my pages ;)

I have made this 3 dolls with materials that were lost in my studio and found while tidying up my workspace. Bits of fabric, wooden blocks and old stamps while listening a good music and drink a good cup of tea, were the inspiration for this project. 

I hope you like it!

                    

 Love the way they photograph the dolls, showing all the details.

                 

Have a wonderful day,

Home sweet home!

I'm about to make this post for a while now ... but just now I am publishing it. 

It's my space and is sacred to me, I share it with you so that you may know me better :)

Welcome to my home!

I live in Lisbon / Portugal in the middle of the city, with my husband my 3 children, Mr. Dog and Ms. Cat.

Since last year when I  moved to this new house I started working in home, something that I have never done before, but this house is big , so I have space for everything. To live , to work and even hide ;)

The living room

The hall

The younger kids room

The entrance for my room

My Room

The Kitchen

My studio

here I make my computer work

My messy creative place- where I paint

a sweet corner

I hope you like it!
