Here is an oil painting. I have hardly any experience with oil paint and this is the first time I have really seriously tried to produce something respectable. This brutal shadow is the result of – I’m trying to fix this. Is this about the face or the hand? Who knows for sure.
This lady is a fountain statue in front of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Unfortunately I couldn’t finish the drawing that day, it started to rain. Afterwards I thought, unfinished it might be better. I’m sure you know that sometimes when you keep drawing, it’s suddenly too much.
Today I would like to introduce you to a relatively old nature study. It was made by me around 2011. I used watercolour and a few coloured pencils. Here, some shadow is definitely needed to create depth/spatiality.
In case you wonder why this cucumber looks so strange, depicting rotting vegetables and fruits was very trendy back then, at least in my perception.
Tree drawn with one line, without settling, on black clay paper.
I’m not sure if this comic also works in English. In German it is “die Rote Armee” (red army).
Today I present you a very old comic drawing of mine. Let’s just say that the hands and face are a bit special 😉
Looking at my old drawings helps me to improve my skills, at least I hope so.
When we spent an afternoon sitting on the bench in the park, I used the time to make a few “secret” figure studies. For drawing I used a brush pen and painted with a little watercolour.
