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
I suppose the title says it all – it was quite difficult. Comments and suggestions would be appreciated ! I hope to do another later in the day!
Yup – this is a drawing I copied from the impressionist superhero Vincent Van Gogh. I didn’t ask the artist’s permission for making this study, but i sincerely hope that he would be OK with it. I know that his trademark brush-strokes are just that – brush strokes, and that it might be weird mimicking … Read more
It feels like i’m getting somewhere! since this was a little later in the day, the light was rather strong, and therefore the shadows became harder. On the photo, there’s just a passing cloud, though.

I stumbled upon the blog of Alison Warner who makes some really beautiful aquarel paintings. Her original is (obviously) the one on the right. When i asked for permission to use her aquarels for making some studies, she suggested that i draw and paint things from real life rather than copying the works of other … Read more
You wouldn’t believe it, but I’m in a hurry! So i’ll just quick say that this is yet another aquaral after an original by Maxine Dodd (on the right) – the paper didn’t take wery well this time, and i thing it was because i had removed some pencil with an eraser.. It’s not good … Read more
This photo i got from the photo-blog Time Nexus – a blog with tons and tons of great pictures. I wanted to do something with leaves, but the one i chose, turned out to be much more precise than what i wanted to test. But it doesn’t matter. As usual, I’m in a hurry, and … Read more
