I think I start to understand how watercolor works, when to use "wet on wet" or dry painting. Don´t really like that the paper has to dry every now and then, kind of disrupts the workflow. And I have to remember to finish with Fixative.

I hope all is fit and well. I am, kind of stubborn. They say 70+ shall remain indoors being cared for, but I need my exercise so I still walk the forest to see nature and animals. And, btw, I am the least ill person in my family. So, I will probably take care of the others so, lock myself up in my apartment, politicians can forget about that. But I don´t take unnecessary risks.

Stay well, there are at least 2 good things in all this. We can still meet online, and....space images show our world is cleaning up. What politics could not do about climate change, a tiny virus does.

Wisdom and watercolor

I found a tiny doll in a second hand shop. I placed her in my watercolor landscape an took a shot.

Wisdom 

watercolor on A3 sketch paper

Yin and Yang is a concept of dualism. Most people think the symbol should be and mean "perfect balance" but I don´t think the Universe is perfect so, my symbol is not perfect.

That is wisdom to me.

Flight

The exhibition is over and my head is empty. Almost 4 weeks seemed to have drained me. As the library is in my town I want to visit a while every day to talk to whoever visit. It is fun to see what they like and think about it.

First image today is a shot in the forest. Almost a SOOC (straight out of camera) image.
The second one "Flight" is a composite with 4 images from 2 countries I visited, Costa Rica and Japan.

Fall is around the corner with fresh air. I love it!

Ice and water

 Click image to enlarge!

Golden angel in snowy weather
This is a mixture of paint and photography edit. The "snow" comes from one of my LP:s I painted on. The angel is a figurine I got from my daughter.  The landscape comes from a Scotland trip I was on.

 Frozen flowers 1 
 (three sizes of the same image creates the frame-effect)

Frozen flowers 2
The two images of Frozen flowers, is just that. I freeze them and when I take them out i five the ice a quick dip in water. Then I have to hurry get them photographed before it all melts.

The wave 2

The wave 1 and 2
I like the first wave I created with thick paint on canvas 12x18 cm. Yesterday evening I made the second one.

I had some fun trying out new things this week. I did not get the canvas from last week as  I wanted it but at least it is brighter now. I used it as backdrop for my little Aphrodite figurine.

The landscape came from the pattern I got on the canvas as I prepared it with gesso.

The stump I had before and now only made some surroundings with a fan brush.

The red eye started with leftover red and black color from the Yellowstone piece.

Thanks everyone for visiting and have a great week.

Testing fanbrush on canvas

I have a canvas that is damaged. Thought I use it for practising different brushes. The work above is only a part of that canvas.
This week I tested to use the fanbrush. Seem to me I have a lot of more practising to do. The major problem seem to be the thickness of the color and the preparation of the canvas. I can´t get it to "flow" the way I see them doing in videos. As a fantasy I kind of like it anyway.

Pastel flipping canvas landscape

Pastel flipping canvas landscape.

I did see a video using this technique so I thought I would try with a small one. You need a lot of colors foe this kind of work. But it is fun. For this one I realized I flipped the canvas the wrong way. I got a landscape instead of "flowers". No harm done, next time I flip it another direction. They are both dipped in the same "puddle" of color.

IF I ever receive the colors I ordered. It is not easy to get what you need around here  :(

This was actually meant to be used for the "fishbowl" from last week. But when I came to this stage I thought it might be an art of it´s own. It is an old poster I scraped "clean" and got this pattern. Maybe not art, but hey, from what I see on the net it might work as such. And I like it  :)  So the Fishbowl has to wait for something else to be glued on.

Wish all of you a great art creating week.

This work is made from 2 images, 2 used softwares and o lot of filters and other tricks. The land was beautiful in it´s own right but the camera was unable to capture what I experienced. Hope you like it.
