Oil Paintings and Pencil Drawings

UPDATE: Since COVID-19 pandemic I started to use Instagram to record my amateur art work.

I’ve been enjoying doing art mostly in the form of pencil drawings since when I was very young, but I always struggled having time to do it properly. Only recently (as soon as PhD was over;)) I discovered my passion for trying out different kinds of paintings. I agree with many researchers who I’ve had the pleasure to discuss arts with – that working with colours and shapes is one of the best ways to complement a busy work-life in resesarch that involves mostly numbers, coding, papers, and papers!

Sunflower is one of my favourite subjects to paint up to date.

I like these white roses so much I painted them twice on different surfaces (wood and canvas). There may be some form of ‘superresolution’.

I learn to paint landscapes from Bob Ross and various YouTube artists e.g. Acrylic Painting Techniques.

The biggest painting I’ve done so far is this one of Glencoe from the highland.

On a beautiful sunny day towards the end of my PhD, I went to do some sketching with friends on Bristol Square, Edinburgh, and this is the outcome:

My copycat of the famous East Wall Gallery artwork ‘Test the Rest’ from my trip to Berlin.

Painting of some imaginary cherry blossom, may have taken inspiration from the edinburgh meadows.
