CATERPILLAR - Oilpastel on Acrylic

I’m into Nature these days. Incredible, nature can be so whimsical. I don”t know this little guy’s name, but nature has painted two big black eyes, and even the light reflection, so to scare away his/her predators. To me, it just looks cute.

Bonsai – detail

I take photos from magazines or my own photos, glue them into my sketchbook and when I’m on the train, I draw.

I think I cut this out from a Bonsai Magazine, but I’m not sure anymore… a multibreasted treetrunk. I draw some lines with an inkpen, and finished the painting with a pencil. So, as you can see, now I’m more into trees than into metroheads:)…

Painting on an old book cover - Crayons Conté, ink

I found this book in a “used book” shop around the corner, in the 11th Arrondissement on the Boulevard Voltaire. It has sitting on a shelf for a while, I haven’t read it, and won’t probably. Yesterday I was so inspired by the title which means “The Bird of the Ruins” in English, that I painted this little scene on the cover…

All This Glowing on the Paper – MOMIGAMI RESEARCH

: Momigami paper research – Journalpage- printed GEO magazine paper with photos and an article about Jack Kerouac’s THE ROAD, gouache, acrylic medium, colored pencil

Paperresearch Journalbook - Momigami collage paper , gouache, acrylic medium, I love how the colors work together in this sample. This would be a colorcombination I'd like to use in a bigger painting. What works in little format, works in big format. The challenge would be to be able to reproduce all the little "stories" happening in the tiny crinkles of the paper and on the colored surfaces. The relationships between the colors, Ultramarine, Viridian, Cadmium Yellow, White, Quinacridone Violet, all this glowing on the Ochre of the paper

I don”t have any complete work to show you, as I have been doing research for a new project and still do.

I have played around with crumpling up paper. Momigami technique, you can find that on the internet, then painting the crumpled paper and collage it. I keep everything in this spirale book and painted the pages with gouache before glueing the momigami paper in with acrylic medium. Also, there was this full moon last night which I could not see but feel, still now, feeling as if I’m going to transform into a werwolf any minute now…
