Visiting the Paint Party Friday :-)


I guess I found out why it's become so difficult for me to post regularly on my blog. It has stopped since I've finished my studies. While I studied I was at my computer almost all the time and now I've so many other things to do that I have to make time for blogging. If I want to keep at it, I will have to really schedule blogging-time in future. I'll have to get myself pulled together :-)

Now I want to show you a few projects I've been working on last week:

The first piece I want to show you is my contribution to the traveling journal of Lizzy Love. There are a lot of process-photos and some detail-photos. I very much hope Lizzy will like her!














Next is a sketch of a Mufflon on 300g water colour paper. I used pencils and pastels, a brush and water (The reference photo was provided by Karina Sturm)


Finally I'm working on Frida Kahlo portraits, which I enjoy very much. I am going to do a collaboration with postcard sized Frida-art. I blogged about that a few weeks ago here.
This week I did this painting:

Sketching in graphite:


Adding, acrylic, pastels and a bit of structure-paste:


Adding more structure-paste:


…and dry pastel:


…and some glue:

This where I've ended up for now…:


I hope you annoyed your visit! I certainly enjoy sharing my art with people at:

and

Have an awesome weekend you all!

Loving Frida

Hi dear visitor,

I have an idea and I would like to ask any of you, who love Frida too, if you would be interested in making a project with Frida Kahlo as the main theme?
Postcard sized pieces of art would be the easiest to send by mail and the cheapest!
The idea is just coming to my mind and I am open to suggestions.
Please comment on this post, if you are interested!

Viva la vida!
