Coloratul reprezinta o activitate des intalnita in rutina celor mici. Este, totodata, o activitate pe care o imbratisez cu bucurie de copil cu fiecare ocazie. Simt cum, pe masura ce umplu de culoare spatiile albe, imi golesc mintea de ganduri apasatoare. Succesul de care s-au bucurat in ultimii ani cartile de colorat pentru adulti demonstreaza ca nu sunt nici pe departe singura care traieste aceasta stare.

Coloratul este terapie.

In ultimele saptamani, am apelat la aceasta terapie probabil mai mult decat in ultimele doua decenii de viata la un loc. Lucrurile nu s-ar fi intamplat in aceeasi formula incantatoare, fara generozitatea unor artiste.

Madalina Andronic, Alexia Udriste, Livia Falcaru, Cristina Frei si Mura au oferit celor mari si mici ocazia de a downloada gratuit ilustratii conturate de ele. Se poate sa nu fie singurele care au luat aceasta decizie, ci doar cele despre care am aflat eu.

Pentru mine, sa pasesc in universul lor cu creioanele colorate in maini a reprezentat o experienta inedita, cu atat mai mult cu cat este vorba de unele dintre ilustratoarele mele preferate. Am inceput cu desenele adunate de Madalina Andronic sub numele “Acasa”. Am trecut apoi la ilustratiile botanice semnate de Alexia Udriste si la imaginea din bucatarie, atat de familiara mie in aceasta perioada, conturata de Mura. Tiparite pe foi albe de hartie, personajele feminine imbujorate si cadrele infrunzite ale Cristinei Frei si vazele cu flori ale Liviei Falcaru asteapta sa imi coloreze starea de spirit in saptamanile ce vor urma.

Gasesti in continuare paginile de unde poti descarca ilustratiile despre care vorbesc. Nu stiu daca acestea vor fi disponibile pe termen nelimitat, asa ca iti recomand sa le imprimi acum. Am adaugat si linkurile spre conturile de Instagram ale artistelor, o alta sursa de bucurie pentru mine.

I have pretty strong opinions when it comes to what I like in terms of art supplies. I've tested a lot and was so excited to try out @artezaofficial 's products. _ Once I touched the paper they sent me I knew it was what I needed. It's rarely that you find a cold pressed paper with the soft texture of the hot pressed. Trust me, it's rare. _ When it comes to their watercolors, I like that they have a formula that lets you work in layers. For the kind of work that I do, it's pretty important to have just enough pigment to build up in a slow and controlled manner. The only downside that I found was their colour range. As for most brand, the shade range it's pretty tiny when it comes to greens and yellows. I researched a bit and found their full swatch sheet. It seems like you have to work your way to find a natural shade of green, but they have a burnt Siena that you can mix it with and works great with a bit of yellow just for that purpose. _ Their brushes are super useful for detailing and are very affordable. I can't say much at the moment about their time resistance, but the price range seems perfect for the amount of sizes you get in a pack. Their tips are super sharp and that is always a good sign. _ Overall I am impressed! I will definitely consider purchasing the paper in the future. I liked it a lot lot! Same for the brushes, even though I usually go with stiffer bristles, I love their price range. As for the colors, I'd definitely repurchase some shades (swipe to see them) if I could buy singles. Aaaand last but not least, Amazon delivered incredibly fast! _ Thank you, Arteza for sending me these goodies to test out and review ❤ _ #arteza #artezareview #artezawatercolors #freelanceillustrator #bird #watercolorpainting #birdillustration #watercolor #illustrationartist #illustrationfriday #alexiaudriste #ig #ig_bucharest #botanical #illustrator #freelancelife #freelanceillustrator #watercolor #artist #instamood #vintage #visualsoflife #instavisual #watercolorist #fromwhereistand #artistsofinstagram #design #watercolorpaintings #theydrawandgarden
