The vegetable plot next to my studio has been filled with flowers, and as a result with bees and insects. the vegetables however... are coming slowly because of the drought.
In the studio I have been busy with sketching compositions, working on ideas and then painting. A saying is: "Creativity has to find you working", so I am putting in the hours :).
One of the things I like to do is create with paper. This time I focused on types of blue in a random magazine. And then collaged all the torn bits of paper into a composition. It is a bit meditative, you just watch and look to see which composition is working for you.
The pile ended up in this square (after having considered a flower shape, circle and rectangle ;)), and just to see how it would look I put it in a frame.
Could this be a scarf, or a shirt design, or should I try to cut a circle and see what happens?
Which colour do I need? I painted some anemone flowers with watercolour, and now I need the right pencil to make some details. Luckily I have a box full of pencils and I found the right one!
These handpainted cards are each slightly different and I sell these at markets and in my studio.
My studio and my style have a broad spectrum: portraits, abstract, cards, handmade accesories, 3D-art. It is all over the place :), but I like not to be pinned on one subject.
I sometimes open up my studio for visitors, and make a small little shop of it, so people can look around. But my studio is also used for workshops, or gatherings, or rented out to relatives, so it is multi-functional.
Here are some peeks into my studio:
