Inspiration knocked on the door…

I am so happy. I got some time to myself, and suddenly I felt motivated to make some paintings! Obviously, I’ve been watching a lot of both the X files and Breaking Bad. Here are the results from my Netflix addiction;

Scully and Mulder
I drew their faces, and the rest of the image is painted with watercolours. I am absolutely in love with this 90’s show.
This piece took about 1 hour total.

Walter
Walter White from Breaking Bad – a show I never go tired of. This painting is made with watercolours, in A3 format. I made it in 10 minutes.

X FILES
Another X files inspired painting. This is made with watercolours, A3. Estimated time spent; 15 minutes.

The future may bring more motivation, time, inspiration and lots of colours!

Galleri Nystemten – My very own exhibition!

 

On Friday the 20th I had my own exhibition at Galleri Nystemten, thanks to Helge Haugland! It was an amazing evening, with classical music by Rune Alver, wonderful speeches, food, wine and flowers. It’s almost hard to believe that it is over already. I am so happy for all the people who came, and for all the kind words I received about my work. Almost 50 people dropped by, and I even sold a piece! Thank you all, it was wonderful, and I hope it won’t be too long until next time!

Here are some photos from the event.

“Masks”, This painting is owned by my grandparents.

“Emily”.

“Meth”.

“Naked”. This is my very first painting done with oil paint. Story behind it; This was originally a drawing that I made to my mother’s friend when I was 11 years old. I’m very glad she dropped by to see it, 10 years later. You could say that this is the second version.

“Redrum”. Inspired by both Cezanne (the painter) and Twin Peaks.

Thank you all for a wonderful evening!

Business cards!

For my upcoming art exhibition I decided to buy a bunch of business cards! Here is the design, which I made myself;

Like it? After a couple of hours nitpicking, I’d say that I am pretty pleased with the outcome. At the same time I’m also relieved to have finally found the same font as my header image on this blog! Phew.

Further information and invitations will be announced this week! Come, come! 🙂

Digital art

Hello!

It’s been forever, and I am sorry for that!
But here is some of my recent work, done in Photoshop – after discovering that my tablet was not broken after all!
Thanks for still hangin’ in there with me.
Leon
I was inspired to draw this after watching the movie “Leon the professional”.

Elf
After loads of hours in front of the computer playing Skyrim, I was inspired to draw my own character as a digital art project.
This is not complete, and probably won’t be for a while, due to my Photoshop trial to expire.. Who knows, maybe I’ll actually invest in having Photoshop in the future. For now, I am only a student, spending my money on food and other necessities. 😉

I chose to upload an image without the hair, only to show her ears.

Enjoy!

School and art

Still being a young person fighting my way through school makes little time for fun art! 

I just wanted to make an update announcing that I’ve applied for both art-school and art-history! The answers are yet to see.. Hoping for the best. 

And so I also want to apologize for slow productivity. Creativity + School = no-time-need-sleep. 🙂 
But no worries. Soon summer, new experiences and more time ahead! 

Deviantart

Before I started this blog I’ve been posting my paintings and drawings on a page called Deviantart. This is a very nice place for artists to share and comment on art, and I’ve been sharing my work there since I was about 13, I think. If you’re interested, have a peak at my older work here (Click image to enter page);

Feel free to comment and favorite if you have an account 🙂

Sketch – Lady

Here’s a quick sketch I did in the other day, in the middle of the night. It took me about 30 minutes with a normal pencil.

Work in progress – final steps

Here’s the ‘close-to-finish’ result of my Walter White drawing/painting. I’ve spent about 4-5 hours in total using a black pencil and watercolours/watercolour pencils. I just want to put some finishing touches to it, and then it will be complete!

(Click image for better view > the quality is poor in these images, the final result will be in a better condition)

I’m happy with the result so far. The remaining parts of this work is to boost the contrasts and to make the colours and ‘colour-drops’ stand out more. When it’s completely done I will scan it and post a full-view of it.

Hope you enjoy it!

Delay

Hi! It’s been a while since I’ve been able to post anything. I haven’t even posted all of my older work yet. I’m sorry for this, and hope to get this blog going again asap. Until summer I won’t be able to post nor paint as much as I wish to, due to schoolwork. But when time comes, be prepared! Creativity will flow! 🙂

Thanks for hanging in there!

Work in progress (Walter White)

Walter White – Breaking Bad
I am probably not the only one who fell in love with the series “Breaking Bad”. I wanted to wait a while to make this post because of the bad quality of this webcamera. But I didn’t get a hold of a camera/scanner. Still, I was too eager! This drawing is halfways drawn black and white with a normal pencil and the rest with acrylic pencils. The idea with the acrylic colours is to make it a bit psychedelic because of the series’ content (Drugs). So far I’ve spent about 2 hours on this. Hoping to finish it soon!

Tools; Acrylic pencils, normal pencil
Time spent; about 2 hours
Size; A3
