Summer Colours

I am really enjoying my Acrylic Paintmarkers. I bought two additional Molotow pens, and used one of the new pens in this painting. It is called "Turquoise", but there is only a very light touch of blue in the green ink. I still haven't tried to fill my new Schmincke liner pen with some mixed acrylic ink, though. I got some Molotow refill bottles, and some Schmimcke and Royal Talens Acrylic Ink. I am thinking about colour combinations but cannot bring myself to actually try them out. Maybe the heat?...

 

Painting Trees with Acrylic Markers

I have the impression that the number of artists who do paintings with Acrylic Markers are quite limited. So I was very glad when I found "Angela Pan Art" on YouTube. She does beautiful landscapes and architecture with them. Her videos are easy to understand and to follow - even for me as someone with English as a second language. 

The above video is about painting trees with Acrylic markers - and I find it extremely helpful and inspiring. Enjoy the video!

 

Birdie

This painting is another example of my digital adventures. This time I took a vector drawing that I had done in Inkscape, imported it into Krita and worked on it. The outcome varies very much from the original inkscape drawing / painting. 

 

Latte Macchiato in the Morning

It has been a week now that you can have a drink or a coffee outside the restaurant without having to show your negative Covid-Test. What a bliss! You can enjoy the summer, the drinks, the delicious food, the people again. Suddenly, something which we all thought was a normal way of spending time has become something very special,,,
 

Happy Colours

I did this painting with my acrylic paint markers. I first did a colour chart with all the markers I have - Posca pens, Molotow markers, Liquitex acrylic paint marker, Royal Talens paint marker). I then noticed that my colour range is a bit lopsided - I got numerous pens in shades of blue, but only one pen in red, and two green acrylic pens. I now want to get more pens in other colours resp. I want to buy those empty markers and fill them with my acrylic inks. 

In the meantime I have to do with the colours I've got...

 

Coloured Doodle

I have got a nice little sketchbook which I actually haven't used much. It is very small (DIN A 6, about the size of a postcard). Here I just tried to doodle and colourize the doodle with my stabilo pens. As the stabilo pens have the same vivid colours as acrylic paintmarkers have those colour combinations can be easily transferred onto the paintmarkers. I must admit, that I don't like every colour combination in the doodle above; but there are some which I like and would like to repeat with paintmarkers: the turquoise blue and the blue and the violet and the dark blue for example. But as it is just now it looks like I have to fill up my range of paintmarkers - I do not have turquoise and violet acrylic markers (yet!)...

 

Doors

That kind of doors can be found in the Northern part of Germany. As far as I can remember I took this photo in the Hanseatic city of Rostock, a town located at the Baltic Sea.
