During this mornings photowalk. Expected fog, but there was none. So sometimes you got to find something in the ordinary. Used the lens Minolta Rokkor MD 50mm f/1.7

Artist woes. I broke the nib of this rather pricey pen while cleaning it :/ and my fingers are black with ink. Thinking I will comfort myself with a glass of wine.

How to photograph paintings? The previous painting I showed was a snapshop with phone (here in the left). Now I gone through my normal process, with DSLR and other tools like polarization filter to remove glare (here on the right).

Portrait in blue. Oil on canvas. I'm in the process of finishing up old work, and this I just finished tonight in the studio.

Sometimes you got to experiment a bit, get out of your comfort zone. Pen and ink in the sketchbook.

Blood orange in oipastel. I'm trying to use oilpastel more, so I can work with colour whitout going to the studio. And good oipastels have some nice possibilities.

Fade out. An effect I wanted to try. I'm still not sure if it works, really. Ink drawing on paper.

Just a quick portrait sketch in the sketchbook.
My plans was to paint tonight, but my back seems like it doesn't agree with those plans.

So. This is an odd one. It was a competition where you got 8 random pens from the Swedish pen store. You needed to make a drawing using all of those pens, and only those pens. My package of pens was very challenging, colours I rarely use. This is the result. #pens #art #drawing
