Yana's Place

Observing, studying

drawing, painting,

Photography and writing

about things help me understand

empathize

appreciate

and enjoy all of these things
here around me.
 
I don't need to go very far.

Some of my  early drawings are  recycled pastels.  Now, I am using colored pencils and ink, which I find involve less water and very little waste and clean-up.  No fixative sprays are necessary, which is important to me.

My paintings are sometimes on canvas, but usually on recyled board, or something else recycled.

I also use water based oils made with emulsified linseed oil which can be cleaned with water but dry hard like regular oils.
