376 Portrait of Hassan Rouhani, the president of Iran, drawing in ink

This is a portrait of Hassan Rouhani, the president of Iran. It’s been long since I made anything in ink, and i think that it’s quite nice for a change! There’s something nice to the gradients of ink, that i can’t quite put my fingers on. Perhaps it just reminds me of some ink-drawings by … Read more

374 Portrait of José Eduardo dos Santos, the president of Angola, watercolor painting

This is José Eduardo dos Santos, the president of Angola The precision is not really there, but I like this technique. Well not that there is really a technique – it’s just dabbing around a little.

367 Portrait of Idriss Déby, the president of Chad, painted in watercolor

This is Idriss Déby, the president of Chad. As some might have noticed, the last few days – or perhaps a week or so, my paintings have been a lot “quicker” than usual. I struggle to do one every day, which i really want to do – but it’s hard to assure that the quality … Read more
