October – “Direction”
After contemplating the sense of rhythm in my art practice, the thought about direction came up almost inevitably. Where to go? What to reach? A straight line ahead, or venturing out and coming back to home base? A long trip or short, spontaneous ones? I’m one of those people who walk into a store and…

Exploring pigments: Umber
During the next few livestreams on my YouTube channel, I’d love to talk about and work with some of my favourite pigments. Each episode will feature a pigment, and after a few I will curate a limited palette with them. It’s no secret that I love desaturated colours and I work with them a lot.…

Painting Camille Claudel’s “l’Homme Penché”
I had a wonderful time with you all during the two live streams where I painted the bulk of this tiny panel. I finished it with an extra 1,5 hours of work that I recorded as well. And it’s done now! This is one of my favourite sculptures by Claudel, although it’s hard to choose.…

How to paint a non-consensual smile
The kid and I were on a trip. I don’t do phone photos so I pushed my over-sized lens in his face. He grimaced. “Look normal!”, I said. “No.” “Please?” “No mum!” I twist my face behind the camera into a weird expression. It doesn’t take much. He smiled and that was that. A non-consensual…

I’m tired and it’s affecting my art routine
As much as I try to stay away from posting too much negativity on my blog or social media channels, I can’t really go any other way right now. I know that many of you are shocked, angry, sad, all of the above, by the shit that is the world right now. Some of us…

February
February was a wet, windy and somewhat practical month for me. I didn’t do a lot of art, but I spend a lot of time re-organising my studio, getting my paperwork in order and just general practical stuff that comes with running a business. It’s also time to get back into lesson recording mode again! …

January, a clean palette
After working on last year’s exhibition, my head was exploding with ideas, visuals that I needed to get out and on paper. Things that had to be done. Pronto! But at the same time I realised that my current workflow needs revision and change. I was a little high I think, on a successful event…

A 2023 recap
I always wanted to do these end-of-the-year-recaps, including goals for the new year and what not. But winter often isn’t my best season. This year however, is not so bad so I figured I’d make good use of that! My depression isn’t really related to any particular season, but the dark and cold winter does…
