Sometimes I just want to say “stop” or “freeze” to my paint, when the colors are moving around. You can scroll through the pictures and see how it much it changes, and sadly not to the better🤷🏻‍♀️The last picture is how it looks after a night of drying😏 I made one big mistake, by moving the painting to another table, and the pigments moved and mixed to much, into just one colour... I really love the unpredictable nature of watercolors, sometimes I get more than expected, but not always, sometimes the drying process is one big disappointment. But there is nothing thing else to do, than start a new painting, I have to take risks, try things, and accept that some paintings are just no good💪🏻💙👩🏻‍🎨
Work in progress👩🏻‍💻 I’m turning this one into a surface design, all my surface design starts with handpainted motifs, and then I clean up and do the repeats on the computer. I really like these two different ways of working💙
A little colour swatch, amazing how many tones there can be in 10x10cm🤩
Sometimes it feels like everything is going so slow, like there is no progression in my art and my very tiny art bussiness🐌🐌🐌 but this morning IG gave me a notification on what I posted last year, and suddently I could see a major shift😀 In the way I paint and think about my work. I just had to zoom out a little bit, and instead of seeing what I’ve managed last week (which is not much), see what has changed the last year✨✨ Have a nice sunday☀️
Pure colour magic✨✨✨
I often think about how colours makes us feel a certain way. Everything is turning green, and a walk in the forest is really something special right now. What is it that colors can do? And how do colors have this great impact on us? Thoughts or maybe book recommendations on colors are very welcome☺️ (And Yes, I know this piece is a bit off color wise🍂🍁😉 but I did not have any green that I could post)
