Wonderful trip to Tuscany with the creative group – September 2023

Toskanareise_Gruppenbild

I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Tuscany at the end of September 2023 with some participants from the creative group “Creatio - Kunst, die lebt" (Creatio – Art that Lives) (then still CreateArt+). We are a group of Christian creatives and artists who are spread across the entire German-speaking region. In the monthly Zoom meetings we exchange ideas, encourage and pray for each other.

This trip was the first opportunity for most of the 10 participants to get to know each other personally. I enjoyed that there was enough time to get to know a little bit about other people's stories, their art and personality.

We were accommodated in several small apartments in a simple but beautiful holiday home complex. There was a large terrace, a spacious green area and a small swimming pool surrounded by a beautiful landscape with vineyards, poplars and olive trees.

Cool workshop about spontaneous art

For some time I have been part of a creative group CreateART+ in the German-speaking area that wants to network and encourage Christian artists. We meet monthly via Zoom to share testimonies and report on how we are doing.

Internally we hold workshops from time to time. So this week there was a workshop that was supposed to help us create creative art spontaneously. This workshop was very cool because it gave me new ideas. I suddenly felt like painting over the artist's watercolor pencils I used for the exercise. The result was a very cool effect that I would now like to use more often. Here my results:

New newsletter is out!

Kunstnewsletter 011

My new art newsletter has been out for a while now. I'm currently trying out a lot of new things with my art. I was allowed to make a digital portrait for a work colleague, I tried something new with my fineliners and continued to fine-tune my three-dimensional pictures.

But read it yourself. I would be happy if you subscribe to the newsletter and share it with friends. What particularly appealed to you? What would you like to read in the next issues? I'm glad to hear from you.

Fineliner line art with white and gold

Näher zu Dir (Original)

I tried something new again. I made some line drawings with fineliners on dark drawing board. Then I added highlights with a white artist watercolor pencil and finally highlighted with a golden Edding Paint marker. I'm quite happy with the results! The scans don't really reflect the effects. Therefore, please take a look at the short videos, where this is more recognizable.

What do you think of the pictures and the approach? Do you have any other ideas or suggestions?

You can purchase the drawings in my shop as originals (on request also as art prints, posters, etc.):

New Fineliner drawing: Come to Rest

Komm zur Ruhe (Krippe) (Original)

I have added my latest fineliner picture to my shop. With this picture I tried something new. I drew on a dark drawing board with my fineliners and highlighted individual areas with a white colored pencil. Then I set accents with a golden edding.

The manger of Jesus from the stable in Bethlehem inspired me in the picture. We can come to rest with Jesus, even when everything around us is raging, chaos is spreading and challenges are getting out of hand. This peace is possible because Jesus laid down his life.

You can buy the picture here, the video on the left gives a better feel for the picture.
Of course, art prints, posters and other reproductions are also possible on request.

Fineliner originals now online

Brücke zum Herz (Original)

Before I started my prophetic art with colored pencils, I did it with my fineliners for a few years. When I was younger I made many more drawings with fineliners because these were reproduced with black and white photocopiers.

Facebook always shows you “reminders” of what you posted years ago on the same day. Here I kept seeing my old pictures that I had created with fineliners.

This made me want to create more art with fineliners again. When I once again ordered my artist's watercolor pencils, I took the opportunity and bought a pack of special fineliners.

As a result, a series of further pictures with fineliners were created. More will of course follow...

I have now put some of these originals in my shop, which can now be bought directly.
