Figure poses

Some figure poses done today At Atelier Stockholm.
20 minutes or less each.

Always painting

I cannot stop painting... Today i almost gave up on painting my friend Frida from school... but ... I did it... gonna try and put mor time into my work ._. and start doing some commissions ^^ 

Selfportrait

Did this one in like 3 hours. Thought of a friend across the sea when painting this... 

Time to paint another portrait : ) 

Today's Work

So last week I started this lion. I used different photos plus documentaries of lions and so on... God I wish i had one in front of me ( behind bars : P ) so i can just paint him from life! It took me 3 hours when i started this one... and worked a bit on it today for like 30 min to do this and that. 

I really love the result... and I love alla prima painting.... Searching for your voice... and appealing to people's taste to make a living is one hell of a decision hehe 

Also how my figure pose is turning out. Just a detail. Should have taken a full photo! 
You can also see.. that when painting the lion... the canvas shows. I need to experiment more and just get some work done and reach out there!

Finding my voice

As I wrote on Facebook... What is art and what does Art stands for?...

Overpainting... loose painting,,, abstract painting... from life/photos... what makes a good painting good?

I am looking, as someone dear to me said, for my voice... and i am starting to know what i am good at and what makes my painting stand out... I can't say that yes this is how i want to paint.. no. I actually can't say that i am happy with this one...

But i have started a lion that i really like that took me 3 hours... alla prima, strong accent strokes and so on. I feel that's what i want... something more. Atelier Stockholm and most Ateliers.. teaches you how to be tidy and patient and so on. From spending 2 months on a painting now i spent 3 hours to 3,4 days. Sometimes i have to spend more time... sometimes it just doesn t need more work.

For ex. The eye of this horse... i spent 3 hours just to capture something... some life. Miles said that it looks like one of those emo horses! meh winter ... Sweden... HAHA! But anyways

not sure how long i spent on this but i will give it a rest and go on. I feel i am getting there!

Portraits and a new pose

2 portraits I did. One with pencil and one with charcoal and chalk on toned paper. And a new figure pose that I will work in color tomorrow! 

Still life Owl

So in like 3 days i did this awesome owl! I love purple/blue/green colors. I have viridian, crimson alazarin and ultramarine blue + transparant oxide red... love this colors! 

anyway! tomorrow a new day... relax or paint... ? em ._.
