July was a slower month for me. It was the last month of school for the kids and things were a bit hectic as everything needed to be wrapped up. It was also stinking hot at times. Still, a few things were done. Gouache I took my gouache and my Hahnemühle Toned 14×14 sketchbook outside […]
Recap of all the art created in June 2026. This also marks six months of me picking up painting as a hobby.
Another month is over and wow I didn’t expect to have so much to show, but I guess a whole month is actually a long time? 🤣 Gouache I feel like I made the most progress with my gouache work this month. It is quite different from watercolour and it took me a while to […]
I thought I hadn’t done much in April, but it turns out that I was pretty busy! So many different things were happening. Tiny Painting I continued with my tiny paintings on 6.5×6.5cm paper using my tiny watercolour palette. So much fun! These days I always have six pieces of paper taped down to have […]
This month of course saw me do some changes to my kit, too. I swear I do more painting than updating my setup. 😬 Now my palette is full and I am really enjoying it! I also got into “tiny painting”, in my case I am doing 6.5×6.5cm square images. This really suits me as […]
This second month was a bit less intense. Still, I managed to create eight sketches, so not too bad actually. I did play around with my palette again, and this is probably something that will be a common occurrence. Painting and sketching is great, but so is playing with the tool! 🤣 I ended up […]
In January I got it into my head to start urban sketching. The first paintings weren't that great, but I had a lot of fun and improved a lot. Also, new tools to explore!
It’s time to look back at 2025. Mainly for myself to review what I even did all year. It’s honestly not easy to remember a full year at my age. 😉 The biggest accomplishment (stationery wise) is probably the fact that I managed to finish 38 ink samples this year. That’s not as many as […]
I am sure everyone is already tired of hearing yet another story about LLMs and what they can do. I’ve been fairly skeptical myself and stayed away from it all due to the hype. And there are obvious limitations to the technology, but when used correctly it can be quite helpful. After a recent experiment […]
It’s that time of year again where everyone comes up with their resolutions for the year. I won’t be doing that, because I know I will just give them up. Instead I’ll be more vague and just provide a list of themes to look into in 2021. Working async vs. working remotely As discussed in […]
