#bokanjac

“Novi Bokanjac” (check the “razglednice” tag) extras - some speedpaints that didn’t make the cut, but I still like.

1 Kondom/condom - one of many bunkers

2 passion fruit

3 towards Velebit

4 hole with bones (I assume someone threw a dead sheep in the hole)

5 sunburst lichen

#7 in my “postcards” collection of speedpaints (find the rest under the tag “razglednice”). Novi Bokanjac (New Bokanjac) is a distric of Zadar, located, as you can see, on the edge of the city. So it includes, aside from houses, various fields, pastures, some bunkers and a couple of hundred cows. Each picture was painted in 30min from my photo reference, without colour picking, as an exercise method.

2 Bokanjačko blato - literally “Bokanjac mud”, an area which used to be a lake but got drained for the purposes of agriculture (the water is still there though, but it is subterranean, and it is used as a water supply for the city)

3 hidden bunker

4 a beautiful tree

5 architecture

6 mysterious signs (the rocks are in a deliberate pattern, but why)

7 what in god’s name are these narrow houses? (they’re empty and I can’t stress how very narrow they are)
