As you probably already imagined, french ultramarine is my favourite color.

I love painting with other people and I'm glad to join the bluesky art community!
Despite the fact that I live in #Berlin for almost two years now I never painted this city. So here is something very typical for Berlin: A small public park and a person enjoying it. Painted on location in #oilpastel!

As I started painting I did a lot of landscapes in the style of Sohlberg. I once hiked through #norway and still love the experience their nature can give you. Seeing it in such lavish colors makes me really happy. So this is me giving it another try!

Did another postcard! This time it's a #raccoon trying to spook you. But it really wants you to think that it's a ghosty, so it hides its tail behind its body. 🦝
I went for #gouache this time to get that really vibrant forest.

Every time I'm at the sea I'm thinking of how great it would be to actually live there. Being able to casually enjoy natures beauty while living a rich life. When painting this #gouache landscape I tried to capture that mood.

When preparing a bouquet you really want your #flowers to pop out. Which makes it difficult to paint them, since you're only working in flat 2D. So I tried creating a lot of highlights to get the same effect.🌹

I'm really enjoying painting postcards. And a friend of mine loves #Aarhus public library DOKK1. Often times she stays there til the evening, so I painted it as a night scene. Truly a wonderful place!

I spent some time on #rügen island visiting their famous chalk cliffs. It was a bright autumn day with lots of cheerful colors. Choosing #oilpastels made it difficult getting those trees right but painting the cliffs was really satisfying.

Painting #roses for me is much about picking your favorite colors and enjoying them. This red might not be the most realistic one, since it's more on the orange side. But it's a really nice color! If this butterfly likes it, so do I.

I had so much fun painting a plane earlier, so I went at it again! Modern airports tend to have a very clean and streamlined design and I adapted this in watercolor.

When travelling I often end up gazing at beautiful #churches. Wandering around them makes you think about centuries of history those impressive buildings have encountered. So I wanted this painting to be whimsical with intense colors and lighting.

I treated myself to a watercolor travel kit and now I'm ready for some plein air! I did a sketch at home trying everything out and went for this castle ruin on the coast of Denmark, next to Aarhus.

I did an art prompt during #AceWeek called "Amazing Ace" and went for this adventurous pilot. The early days of flying always fascinated me. I also felt like I needed more practice with #softpastel.

Celebrating #aceweek this rose is intended to be a symbol of how many kinds of love and passion there are. Even if you have to search a bit longer, so many things will enrich your life.

Pumpkins are sort of a comfort topic for me. You can do a lot of expressive strokes, even when trying to paint them in a realistic manner. And you can use all your favorite orange colors!

Spending time in your backyard always reminds me of sunday mornings. As a kid you didn't do that during the week since you've got school. And also not on saturday because of too many cartoons to watch. 😄

Painted with #gouache to have really vibrant colors!

Cattails remind me of fun vacations at the sea. And there is a playfulness to them, since if you're a kid, you most likely actually play with them. So I tried to depict them as magical as possible.

I'm still not done with combining sailor moon #aesthetic with french impressionism. This is my newest attempt: It's the poppies by Monet with Tokyo in the background. I wanted it to be vibrant despite also being a night scene.

It took me way to long to realize how many amazing #castles there are in #belgium. This is Château Vêves in beautiful Wallonia. When visiting I missed opening hours and unfortunately couldn't get inside, but I still had this amazing view.

Since I love birds, I spent a lot of time on #birdtober feeds. Today I wanna participate! This common loon isn't afraid of cold water. Every sea needs to be enjoyed!

I have some fond memories of past trips to #lübeck, so I painted their famous Holsten Gate. It's the entrance to their old city centre, known for marzipan and parades. It's always recommended to end your day here during sunset!

Really want to do #inktober, but I also still enjoy painting flowers. So I used todays prompt #crown to do some crown flowers in ink! They look like right out of a fantasy movie with their velvety petals and cute crown tops!

I joined Malinas art challenge and tried my best on some blue pinkgills! They're actually blue in real life. Since they look so magical, I used #gouache to create kind of a fairytale vibe.

When visiting beloved #Paris it's impossible for me not to be around the eiffel tower at least once. Many cherished memories formed over the years. Normally it's not that grey but since it's autumn I wanna enjoy all my moody skies.

Autumn is here! Reminding us that every flower is beautiful. It's so much fun picking up all my favourite earth colors and painting flowers with it.
