Last month was all about experimenting with different brush strokes to create a more fresh painting with an imapct. Here’s a selection of the ones I enjoy viewing and hope that you will to 😉

Catching the atmosphere
I’ve started working with softer brushes and concentrate on bigger shapes with fresh washes. The first painting is done in one go with soft blending for a a hazy mood and the second one is 2 washes: first a light color wash to set the mood and then a wash with strong pigment to set light with enhanced tone contrast. Hope you enjoy them! 😉
Exploring hake brushes
March was all about exploring marks with a hake brush and a palette knife. It’s a lot of fun if you want results very fast, because the hake is a forgiving brush, you can do wonders with a single stroke. Here are some of my experiments, hope you enjoy them:
Another countryside
Countryside paintings are always something I enjoy doing because the view is so calming and peaceful and everywhere you look there is another good subject. This one is 21 x 30 cm.
Exploring texture
After spending a lot of time (and money) with different brushes I have found that a cheap hog brush fits me perfectly and allows me to easily play with different textures. The search for the right tools is always unique 😉
A duck family
Although the sky and water inspired me, the duck family takes all the glory for this one 😀
January paintings
Here are some works from last month. It’s been a productive one with a lot of experimenting. I’ve decided that the spray bottle is a watercolorists best friend and that some great effects can be achieved with scraping. Hope you’ve had a good artistic month as well! 😉
