So I had a little hectic aquarel session after my Cezanne study this morning. I had to run for the train. Again. I think i ought to get some kind of control over my morning-drawing habits.. Anyway.. I got some suggestions yesterday on another leaf drawing where davisbrotherlylove suggested that I could try to mix … Read more
I tried toning the trees with circle-movements. This morning i have a little more time, so i’ll try to make an aquarel before running for the train!
I wanted to do something quick and easy before dinner, and i found this photo taken by Nexus of this beautiful sculpture by Henry Moore. I haven’t seen the full extends of the sculpture, but i really like this framing of it. It was neither quick, nor easy! The user paintbynumberparents gave me a suggestion … Read more
I got a comment on my last aquarel leaf by nexi about adding some darkness to make a more spacial effect, and i decided to immediatly try it. It took me a little while to find a good yellow that corresponded with the leaf, so i painted a couple of times on top of each … Read more

After getting some suggestions from Jack from davisbrotherlylove.wordpress.com and from Alison Warner i decided that it was time, that i took a look in the frigde so see what i had. I wanted to use the method that i … Read more
I found this figg-leaf on the Time Nexus foto blog. It reminded me of my visits to Algeria where these trees are everywere – with the sweetest, most delicious fruits just haning ripe for the taking (if it’s in the right season anyway) – I have sence bought imported figgs here en Denmark – from … Read more
I stumbled upon the blog of Alison Warner who makes some really beautiful aquarel paintings. Her original is (obviously) the one on the right.
