I love that style with gears and mechanical objects, so I attempted to make some gears myself in Paint Shop Pro 9, which is my favorite program. I used vector creating my own shapes of gears and such. I also used my own photos of metal, rusty things etc. I used bevel to give it a 3D Look. Every gear I saved as a tube for further use, as it was a big work to create these, so it was pitty, only to be able to use them once, right? At last I placed my gears on a rusty background and here you see the final result with shadows and such to give it a 3D look.

In 2014, I purchased an old fascioned Photo Album in order to try something new.  Mixed Medium, but not Digitally.  I thought it could be fun to make the Danish Alphabet. I finally completed it in  August 30, 2016. It was a very fun journey.

This painting is made with Watercolor,  Acrylic Markers and Fineliner.  Just another intuitive painting and again, I had alot of fun. 🙂

Sometimes it is fun just experimenting. The result is not always what you expected. That´s what happened here and yet, I kind of like it and I sure had alot of fun in the process.   Acrylic and Pano Paint.

I was inspired of Cezanne, when I made this and I had a great time.  I made a drawing on watercolor paper. Scanned it to my computer, colored it in Paint Shop Pro 9, gave it a digital frame and this is the result:

Sometimes it is fun just to draw something and I love drawing portraits. 

I begin with watercolor, dropped on the wet watercolor paper. Sometimes i place a plast foil on the wet painting and let it dry.  All the foldings from the plast foil have made some patterns and shapes.  Then it is about finding something interesting and make a painting out of it. Perhaps like this:

Sometimes I have fun eksperimenting. In this case, it was with acrylic on canvas. I added silk paper on the canvas. Just painted it onto the canvas with white paint. Alot of foldings appeared, which was exactly what I wanted. A good way of creating texture. Then I discovered figures, which I just painted.
Did I mention, I had alot of fun?
Sold!

I  uploaded more Still Life Drawings. See them HERE

Have had  a “no art” period and need to boost myself again.
Another Pastel on colored copy paper. A portrait of no one.

I have uploaded more Mushrooms and Fungi.

Another play with colors and shapes. Watercolor on oil color paper. Just had to try it out.  Didnt want the paper to absorb too much of the color for this technic. Great fun and relaxing to do.

Sometimes I dont know what to paint. When that happens, I begin to just play with colors. It often ends up with fun results, such as this one. If you want to see more of this, Look HERE

Another Pastel painting, but on Velour paper.  I do like this paper, as it can take alot of pigment. This time I had no problem with the Fixative.  Maybe velour paper is not making this problem as much as the sanded paper. The daisies are made mostly today. Made the pale drawing yesterday, but began the painting today.  I am not sure I am quite happy with the result,  but it will have to do.

Today I finished this new Pastel,  made on 50 x 70 cm sanded paper.  It is made after a photo by a friend. I was quite happy with the result, untill I gave it Fixative, which made it more grainy than I like. I know this can be a problem, if you want to make the pigment stick to the paper and it seems, I have this problem every now and then. Quite frustrating, because this took me days to paint and it is pretty large too. Oh well. On a  distance you dont see the grain.  Only if you study the image very close.

One should play sometimes; and that is what I did with this abstract. I used Acrylic and Acrylic Marker.  Need I say,  I had great fun?

Today I have changed  the Masks I have for download to bigger versions in JPEG.  Go and take a look.

Today I finnished this new pastel landscape.  It is a motif from a photo I took of Sejroe Bay, Zealand, DK.  not far from my home. It didnt work with recycle paper, so… back to velour paper and that was better.  Yet, I want to try my sand paper made for pastel too, before I go to another medium.  I change medium once in a while, in order not to be bored 🙂

Another pastel drawing on recycle paper.
I am about to draw a landscape with pastel on velour paper.
Hope it will be decent this time.

When I run our of ideas, I often begin to draw portraits.  It is relaxing and it often gives me a kick for something better and more serious. They  dont  look like anybody. They are mostly just made for fun.

This Landscape is made with Dry Pastel. I do not have much experience with this medium.  Still I find it very amusing and interesting.  I hope to be better at it over time.
