🪶 Mostly watercolour and digital art

🪽 Medicine is to save lives. Art makes us want to live
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 🐀

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!

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
#photobooth #traditionalart

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

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

After scetching out the portrait yesterday for the first time I am now tackling the real deal.
I think it already looks better than the abomination before 😂

Working on some stuff for my sgd- course today.
Hopefully that will help me drawing better humans (bc damn I love painting animals but sometimes I want to try something else)

I wanted to draw something with a background for once and what would be better than the Serengeti?

I am finally finished with the plant-drawing part of my distance learning course.
Now I can start with my favourite thing: drawing animals!
We had to draw animal statues to get a feel for the overall shape & bone structure.
I tried to keep it simple for the statue-look

Back to my distance learning course.
This time we should draw a basket with field fruits as accuaretly as possible.

I forgot to upload this commission. The kitty on the right had an interesting fur pattern, it was a nice challenge <3
