@YimenaJoy @erika_at_panama Thanks 🙏 sorry about that. I speak flute to Spanish and my reading is better then my writing of it but it’s still like at 2nd or 3rd grade level. I tend to forget some of the rules 😖😖😖

Small painting studies of photographs I took. The assignment was to take a photograph of a scene we think would be in a studio ghibli film. The three things I tired to look for for were angles, cars, and landscapes.

In my pieces I try to incorporate themes about the culture of Colombia. Here is an example by taking a design from one of the many golden figurines of the pre-Colombian era I made them massive #gouche #coloredpencil #illustration #southamerica #colombia #colombianjungle
