First New Project For The New Year, BP: Week 1
New year, and didn’t get my blog up to date. *sigh* Well, these things happen! My PC is still dead. The silver lining is that it forces me to do more traditional stuff. That’s one of my goals these year…
30 Rock (minus 25)
Inspired by last session with the still-lifes, this week everybody was assigned a task of selecting one object and doing study(s) of it. As a back-story we heard that sometimes (in art schools) you have to do even hundreds of…
A Quick Update
Hello to everyone. The planned blog silence I mentioned in my last posting (commissions still available!) is slightly easing with this post. My intention is to start posting older stuff during the next few weeks in order to catch up…
Why I Don’t Do Still-Lifes, Reason No. 1
It has been said that behind every successful painting there’s a winning still-life. Well, this posting should explain a lot when it comes to my painting career… This second watercolour painting lesson the assignment was to paint a fairly complex…
Quick Sketch in Spring Colours
This is the mandatory Easter posting. Felt like drawing something quick and use the pink watercolour stick. Alas,below the results. This was also January assignment for pARTy-challenge (@dA). Very difficult ref for me, mainly because I found it difficult to…
FW #13: Comfortable Visit Outside The Comfort Zone
Believe or not, a Finished Works posting! Only one work though, but it’s a start. And it did take only 8 weeks… This week’s finished work is a commission I tried to finish a month ago. “Tried” mainly because of…
WW #5: fixes and tests
Despite all the extremely important stuff I had going on this week, I had a time to at least touch my art materials! Of course I couldn’t manage to get anything earth shattering done (who expected that, seriously?) but at…
Watercolour and pain, WF #2
Phew, this week has gone in a blink of an eye. I can’t fathom how that keeps happening, but there you go. Though, as per the headline, this week’s been bad health-wise so I haven’t had the inclination to sit…
Puuväriponi
Olen näemmä luopunut kaikesta toivosta saada säännöllisiä postauksia aikaan, joten tässä uusin valmistunut näin keskellä viikkoa. Kyseessä on iänkaiken vanha puuvärein tehty poni, josta nyt lopulta ei sitten tullut huikea menestystarina. Sarjassa “ihan kiva”, mutta puuväriongelmat ja tekniikkani puutteet yhdistettynä…
Uusi aluevaltaus
Muutama viikko sitten Vapriikissa järjestettiin Venäjä-viikonlopun yhteydessä mahdollisuus kokeilla posliininmaalausta parin tunnin työpajassa. Äidin pakottamana (… oikeasti!) osallistuin. Aluksi en ollut oikein kiinnostunut, sillä en tiennyt hirveästi posliininmaalauksesta. Paitsi, että se on hankalaa, joten pari tuntia vaikutti vähän hölmöltä. Lahjonta…
