AEDM25 Butterfly

 Click image to enlarge!
This is how I started. The butterfly comes from a stencil

Just wanted to share how this Tempera color glows in certain light.

Yep, I destroyed it! Wanted to see if I could turn it "dark". Guess not 😎  But I learned how to use the tape both for holding the paper and to use it for the paint to flow over the edges.

Butterfly!  Guess I´m done for now. I also learned it it possible to wet the paper A LOT and still get away with it 😇

Butterfly in progress, Sorry, I let you see the same piece 4 times. It is sketch paper size A5. If you did not already guess.

A sidenot might be of interest. The board I use for the paper says "SCANIA" on the top. I was working on the SCANIA heavy trucks design department in many years. I designed this bord for making it easy for drivers to sit behind the wheel and make notes. You put the board in your knee and lean it to the wheel. Then you can write comfortly. 😊

AEDM18 On stage

 Cutout ballet dancer
I copied a dancer from Pinterst. I had it for a couple of days until I realized I probably have a scalpel somewhere. When I worked as a truck designer I used some tools I still have. They were not needed when designing was digitized.  Now I found the scalpel and the writing template.

The scalpel made me able to cut out the white dancer from the white paper. So the image shows the cutout dancer as white and the "cutout form" as the black paper. Then it took me two days fo figure out what to do with them. Teh finished one is the first "On stage", CARBon paper, foam brush and tempera white color. Stencil used for the horns and lettering template.

So, now I can create my own stencils 😊

On my wall in the hall

On my wall in the hall

I finally got to the point when I start to hang my art on the walls. I chose the wall between kitchen and bedroom for the circular ones. And added the rectangular one that was created with the circular one above it.

Made a quick test of some "patterns" on my shelf. CARBON A4 paper and white tempera.


BOKEH LAKE
This is digital and quite impossible to describe the process. Many images and techniques used. For short it is a blurred branch in front of a blurred lake

Sailing and deer Testing pencils and blending

 Click image to enlarge!
Sunset deer

I was playing with pencils and blending in sunset colors. Then I remembered I had this deer image so  I put it in there. It is painted on a overhead plastic sheet. Thought I would have it on a window but it did not work so well. But adding a black background in Photo shop, it looks much better.

 This one was made at the same time as the deer above. But on black paper. 
I like the way the acrylic colors interact with the black, carbon, paper. I might make a poster from it.
