The October Collection

While I have escaped autumn for a fortnight soaking up the sun and mediterranean beauty on the island of Mallorca, this month’s collection ‘Prairie Flora’ heavily focuses on the autumn and winter season. I have signed up for a couple of projects with Patternmash and the first one was a theme called Praerielands for AW… Read More

DELIGHTS

Last night our biggest (up-to-now) art show opened in Delmenhorst, Germany. Doris Reske and me show 65 pieces of art on the tree floors of the Lichthof-Gallery which is part of the former Nordwolle fabric area.

How I got published in Uppercase Magazine – twice

In November 2014 I took an e-course called ArtBiz with Alena Hennessy. One part of this course was mapping out your short-, middle- and long-term goals for your art career. There were all those goals like website, business cards, social media, exhibitions, licensing etc. and at the bottom of the piece of paper I wrote… 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.

Bye-bye, acrylics for the moment! We had such an impressive expressive time together. But I think tomorrow I will open a new chapter of art supplies for the last 15 cards of my project.

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 🌴🌊👙
