Elefanten! / the big ones

I’ve been visiting the zoo several times now and there were some days with fair weather. Fair enough to sit outside and sketch. Finally I did what I was avoiding to do for a while now. I never made an attempt to try and sketch the elephants but did instead find several reasons for myself…

Tulips / Ein Tulpenexperiment

The plan I had was something like „divide the paper into 4 sections and paint different loose tulips in each segment“ but somehow I ended up with 4 very similar and not very loose tulips 🙂 Der Plan war eigentlich, auf einem Blatt 4 völlig verschiedene frühlingshafte Tulpenbilder möglichst locker hinzupinseln. Irgendwie endete es dann…

Liebster award

You can hate it or you can love it. You will find lots of both in the www… but I like the original idea of getting to know a litte more about the person behind a blog. So thanks to Annie for nominating me! The Rules: Thank the person who nominated you and link back…

guess where… / rate mal…

Guess where I’ve been on friday. Yep, finally I managed to find the time to have my hair cut into something you can call haircut. And while waiting I did this little sketch of a lady sitting opposite to me;-) Am Freitag habe ich es endlich zum Frisör geschafft, seitdem habe ich wieder so etwas…

Alpaca

There is no interest in zoo visitors at all when the feeder is full of fresh green grass! ( I have to try these again, they look like strange deer but not like alpaca) Das Interesse an Zoobesuchern läßt zu wünschen übrig, wenn es gerade frisches grünes Gras zu futtern gibt! 🙂 (An denen muss…

impulse kitten / spontane Katze

Flicking through g+  this cat crossed my way coming from the left… luckily I’m not superstitious! Something in this photo drew me to my pens and I did a quick sketch on an old envelope that was at hand. I’m quite happy with the way it turns out, so thanks to this cat for forcing…

some more cups / neue Tassen

Every time I saw Liz Steels gorgeous cups I wondered where to get one. And suddenly I remembered my mothers collection of beautiful old cups and asked her if I could borrow some. I think she still doesn’t believe that I simply want to paint them:-) Here is the first try, it is the one…

Trampeltier / Camel

This camel was about to loose his thick winter fur and looked very fuzzy at some parts of its body while the rest of it was neat. You can’t actually see that in my sketch I’m afraid… but it looked really funny. And the lady shurely was  freezing because it was a chilly day:-) Diese…

what is left over #doodlewashdinner

Was übrig bleibt, wenn man z.B. einen Apfelpfannkuchen backt, kann auch ein Motiv sein… vorausgesetzt, man spießt die Schale auf einen Schaschlikspieß, damit man sie malen kann:-) I hope this one fits for #doodlewashdinner because it doesn’t show the applepie itself but what’s left when you are going to bake one. And I think it…

3 Blickwinkel / 3 views

Once more practicing believable cups. This is the same cup (really!) on three different places on the table. That was all I could do in the short amout of time but at least I did something that had to do with color and having fun:-) Momentan müssten meine Tage ein, zwei  Stunden mehr haben, damit…
