This is a more detailed and realistic painting than I usually make. Which also makes it look less real. It's harder to make them look good, though. So I'm happy with how it turned out. I get that fjord vibe. Which was what I was aiming for. But lots to keep working on. As always.…
I’ve never painted clouds using watercolor before. So why not try it out. To get a sense of what I needed to do, I used an old tutorial book I got back in 1998. It was fun reading in it, reminiscing about my childhood years. I didn’t use it much back then, though, but I’m…
I've made birch trees using oil paint: I've made birch trees using digital programmes: I've made birch trees using pen and wash: But I haven't made birch trees using watercolor only. Or, now I have. And it was very fun. I started out making a quick sketch of the trees. I then…
I'm not particularly pleased with this watercolour painting. But I thought I should post it anyway. It looked better before it got overworked. And a lot brighter. But, as I've had a little break from watercolor painting, it was bound to happen. It was fun to paint, though. And another lesson learned.
It's been a while since I've painted these little pieces. So it was time for another one. Out of training, it didn't turn out that well. I'll need to get back into it. But this wasn't about the result. Just getting it done. So I can do it again. I hope you like it, and…
I was quite happy with my last attempt at some birch trees, adding a little wash to the finished ink drawing. It was done in such a loose style, like I've always tried to manage. This time, though, it ended up much less satisfactory. The drawing itself is not that bad. But the wash is.…
Well, I didn't do a terrific job with the photo of this painting, to say it mildly. I tried to make the background as bright as possible using photoshop. But, as you can see, that made the colors kind of neon strong. So, it might be a good idea squinting at this one. So your…
If you haven't read my previous posts, I'm currently in an all-consuming process of drawing birch trees. I just haven't realized how wonderful they actually look, and how they stand out in any forest scenery. So I've been drawing them up with an added wash of watercolor, which I've found very enjoyable. The first piece…
I'm a bit lost for words today. Not because I'm surprised, angry, sad or excited. They are just missing, in an empty kind of feeling. Not empty in a bad way. Just empty. I still want to post a painting, though. A painting that doesn't need too many words. Just a painting that is what…
I've been going through my painting equipment lately. Selling what I don't use, to be able to spend more time with what I enjoy most. I knew there was a lot of stuff in the first category, but I have to say that I was amazed. I had loads of brushes, now I have about…
