Respect to everyone who paints with oil. I am a watercolour artist through & through and I struggle with it 😭
but I have to do 2 paintings in oil to complete my distance art-course, so here I am, cursing the slow drying time 😅

Our local library participated in the "Reading rat"-project. The closing party was last friday and I drew this little rat on the blackboard 🐀

I have to draw two oilpainting pieces for my online- artcourse and I am not satisfied with them. It’s so messy 😭 I will keep going until it looks more or less presentable but I miss the lightness of my beloved watercolours.
I don’t think I will touch oil paints again after that 😅

I reached a point where I can’t discern between sizes anymore 🫣 I I bought oil painting paper but forgot what size it was. I thought it looked really small ( A4 size). Later, I saw that it was actually A3. Since it seemed so tiny to me, I compared it with one of my A2 drawings — and it really is A3😂

Wanted to post my little sketchbook landscape-drawing but realized that the sun already set down and now the lighting is too bad for a proper photo 😭 the struggle of winter.
But at least you can see it on my TikTok:

Did some inkpractice (dry and wet).
I am working through my last workbook right now and it definitely keeps me on my toes. The watercolour section is no problem but I am a total beginner if it comes to oil and it shows 🫣 preparing the canvas correctly is already tricky!

Sorry for the quiet here, but I am back from my holiday in Japan now. 🙌
I am starting on the last topic of my long-distance-course now: oil and aquarelle paintings! So you can expect more of this soon 💪

art at beginning of covid vs now

I actually started watercolour in 2021 but this is one of the very rare watercolour-attempts I did before that (on normal reprographic paper because I was dumb and didn’t even now watercolour paper existed 😂)

My drawing course will soon be over. One year of going back to the roots & trying out new forms of creativity (like linocut). I definitely want to sign up for a new course next year as well!
This month we focus on ink. I never worked with it before & I really love it! It´s similar to watercolour 🧡

I wanted to repost my cockatoo-flower art and realized I never uploaded this one before.
Gonna take some good pictures of it soon and share or with you all <3

I forgot to post the finished thing 🫣
The town hall celebration is over by now & since my photobooth was set up outside and I had to work inside the town hall the whole time I have no idea if many people took photos with it or not.
Anyways, here it is + some details

A project so big that you can sit on it.
I think it will take me 3 more hours until it’s finished

Here is a little video of the photobooth I am working on. It’s actually almost finished, I worked 3 hours on it today and I think I will finish it in 3 more hours.
If you like to see more of how I paint my #animalart you will find it on my TikTok ;)

Sorry for being not active right now.
I am in charge of a pretty big painting right now. Our townhall celebrates its 100th birthday on August 22 d and I have to make a large photobooth for it.
That´s were all my drawing energy goes into right now 💪

Tried out linocut. Was an interesting way of creating art, though I don’t think it’s for me. But it was nice trying it.

How can it already be #PortfolioDay again? This day creeps up on me each time and it feels as if we just had it like 3 months ago 😆
I am a #watercolour artist who occasionally draws some acrylic and digital art as well. This account focuses mainly on my animal art (I have another acc for fanart too)

Finished my birthday present. This one was definitely out of my comfort zone since I usually don’t draw detailed backgrounds. Or landscapes in general.
Original is from J.M. Bernartz, called „elephant herd“.

Last drawing of my #nude/ #portrait course. Only 4 more lessons to go until I finished my course!
I´m glad I tried it out, I learned quiet a bit. The last two lessons will be about oil and watercolour, I am already excited to get there since this is what I do best <3 And hopefully learn even more!

Working on understanding how to draw nudes right now. Over half of my distance learning course is already done. I leaned quiet a bit, but my main focus will be the animals still. I really did enjoy creating plant-art though, so I may mix this into my future works

I was at a convention the last weekend and sadly didn´t manage my post for #1arteachweek for the first time.

Btw I am working on a new big watercolour painting, so you will see something more interesting (than just my studies for the distance learning course) here soon again :)

Finished it in time for #1arteachweek 🙌🏼
