I’m getting braver with my drawings (was always brave with my mixed media but my drawing skills are raw, see, so it takes a lot of inner pushes to actually get myself to draw outside or when people are watching over my shoulder).
Share the journey.
This is the building opposite where I live. Mybus stop is just under this. Drew this early in the morning while waiting for my bus to uni.
I expected to go back home onmy in November and last week it all changed! Now I’m going home in two weeks time and I’m just back from a spectacular weekend in Newcastle with ‘A’. Suddenly, March has become The Month of the Year. Kathmandu, here I come! This is Boudha, its one of the last places I went to in Kathmandu before leaving for London. You have to see this one large and in landscape.
I can’t deny that I’ll miss this city. I won’t even try. I love its charm and the lights around the cathedral at night and the brief (very brief!) periods of sunshine and it small hidden art treasures…I could use some serious summer, though!
If you happen to come to Glasgow you CANNOT leave without walking the following route and visiting all the places marked there. These are not the only places you should go but they’ll d for a start.
Drew this portrait in the library while reading a book of his poems. I always like to have a face to a name. However, to be 100% honest, I have to admit, what made me drew this man was the pronounced curve of his upper lip.
And here’s a message to leave you with. Drawn in Starbucks.
What have you been doing?
















Wonderful. Fresh and vibrant and fun.
Are you not going back to Glasgow?
oh yes, of course i am

going away for a month, though.

I love that you catch the 111 bus…that is my magic number of all time.

I like the fact that your drawings are a little raw. Be proud of them! Let people look over your shoulder!
Your drawings are fantastic. Don’t sell yourself short.

Hi Mahima, Just scrolling through after an absense of a few months. I really like what you are doing here with the pen and ink and watercolor washes. I’m inspired to head over to Starbucks and do the same thing. Warm wishes, Annie
Love your drawings, they’re very spontaneous and fresh.
your paintings are enchanting. I love Glasgow. I love all of Scotland.
