On a very gray and rainy sunday, it is nice to find all my colors and finally have time to paint🧡 I’m working on some surface designs and my monthly paintings for #detviskabte Ps. Have a look at my test paper, it’s almost a piece itself #artiststudio #paintpaintpaint #akvarel #aquarelle #printandpattern #surfacedesign #surfacepatterndesign #contemporarywatercolors #nordicart #inspiredbynature #artflowsessions #watercolour #carveouttimeforart #botanicalillustration #dscolour #plantlover #pattern #doitfortheprocess #artmakesmehappy #kunst #patternobserver #beboldbecreativebeyou #watercolourpainting #dsart #danishart #artonpaper #instapainting #karinapetersen #karinapetersenart
Painting in daylight is the best, but sometimes I also paint in the evenings with artificial light, because that’s when I can find time. And then the best is to wake up, and see what I actually painted and how it turned out when dry... I’m quite happy with this second layer on my painting from last week🍂🌾🧡
All into botanicals these days🌿🍂🌾🍁🧡
Working on some surface designs today🌱🍂🧡 I appreciate that I can switch between the different genres in my practice, for some time I’ve had focus on my art and now I love getting back to designing patterns🧡
So how did I start to paint? I was about 12-13 years old when I was introduced to real watercolors and watercolor paper by my primary school teacher. At that point I did not draw so much anymore, I was struggling that I could not draw things as they looked in real life😬 But in this project, we had to paint more abstract landscapes with watercolors, and I loved it🤗 I bought some art materials and started painting🎨🌈 I’ve taken a long break from painting, from my mid twenties to mid thirties, back then I was busy designing👩🏻‍💻, but that’s another story... But now I’m back where I started, and I really enjoy it❤️
Over at @kunsttypen you can read an interview with me (link in bio) It’s in danish, so I’ll post bits of it here in English, as I assume most of you following along don’t speak danish😀 Getting asked the questions for the interview was really a great way to tune into, what is this art thing all about🤔🤔 And sometimes the simple questions are the best. How did you start painting? How is your process? How does nature influence your art? Well this is the kind of questions I forget to ask myself...
