Its German name means “coffee… Read More

Pink Moment of the Week

I haven’t done a Pink Moment for a while, so now it’s time again, because it was just too good: This is a pink pigment I experimented with for painting. And it is special pigment for me, because it is a gift from my art buddy Doris Reske from her recent trip to Venice to… Read More

Hi creative people, I have a brandnew 90-min class Hi creative people, I have a brandnew 90-min class with @etchr_studio coming up this Friday at 10am EDT - ‘Nostalgic Little Portraits in Multi-Media’ 🎨

Making art is more than just techniques. Art is about capturing moments and connecting emotionally with your subject. If this resonates with you, then please join me when I show you in this interactive class:

• The easiest (and quickest) way to create portraits
• Combining coloured pencils, markers, crayons, watercolour and acrylics
•  How to identify facial proportions
•  Adding expression to your portraits through simple marks
•  How to consider negative space in your composition
•  Picking simple but effective colour palettes

Materials needed:
• Watercolour and/or acrylic
, coloured pencils, crayons, black marker
• Brush and water
• Postcard-sized paper (5-6 pieces)

The class will be streamed live & free on Etchr’s YouTube channel this Friday and anybody can join. You can find the link right on top in my bio linktree. After that it will not be visible on YouTube anymore, but you can purchase the class recording for only $7. A 7-day-subscription-free-trial of Etchr Studio is also available (hundreds of classes!).

If you have missed my 30-min free introductory demo to little portraits, this stays on YouTube and you can also find it in my bio linktree if you would like to warm up for class on Friday. See you 👋

This week I had the big honour to do a dance & art This week I had the big honour to do a dance & art project at a school in Oldenburg, where I live in Germany. The overall theme was ‘Europe & Diversity’.

For the whole week the pupils (aged 10-14) and I danced to songs in the languages of Europe, in this school alone there are pupils from over 50 nationalities.

And then we painted the national flowers of European countries (like roses of England, irises of France, poppies of Poland and cornflowers of Germany) to put them together in a large colourful collage to be displayed at the end of the week on Open Day, and the pupils also choreographed their own dance performance. I am very proud of them 💃🏻🎨🌸🎉😊💪 And I feel I learned more from them then they from me.

I still can’t really believe it’s summer now! I still can’t really believe it’s summer now! It’s like longing for it all year and now it came like a surprise, strange thing.

Still a month of work ahead for me, but then - let’s start dreaming, this photo by @malswim with my Aloha print puts me in the right tropical state of mind 🌴🌊👙
