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…
Well, it seems, from some feedback I’ve been getting, that I’ve spammed down all my followers with over 700 notifications of new posts… What a mess! I want to apologize to everyone who got all these notifications and email’s. It was never my intention. During some site maintenance, I changed the settings on my posts.…
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.
I’m not sure whether or not I like this painting. But it was quite interesting painting it. After a quick wash, blending some red and yellow watercolor, I decided to scrape on the rest of the paint using a palette knife. I first used some black gouache for the cliff. Then some dark green and…
So this would be my best result so far, in my latest series of pen and washes. If it hadn't been for the very disturbing radioactive look. I don't quite know how I ended up with it. I was about to add the color just for the birch trees, and then, suddenly, I'd wiped it…
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…
To spice it up a bit, I decided to do a couple of those hill drawings using watercolour. So far I’ve done the ink drawings first, adding the watercolour as the last touch. Now, however, I wanted to do it the other way around. I can see now that I should have taken photos before…
I had quite a lot of fun with my fan brush in my last post. So why not continue the joyful process in my next painting. It's been a cold September in our region, but I thought I might heat it up a bit with a green, lush scene. It's pretty basic, but I like…
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…
