Cupcake


This was an exercise from the book "Die Kunst des Zeichnens Farbe". I used Polychromos from Faber Castell. The goal of this exercise was to train to draw shadows. I think the transitions in the frosting aren't smooth enough and may I should use stronger colors for the decoration to get a bigger contrast to the blue background.

Two girls on a poppyfield

This painting shows two girls (technically me and my little sister) in a poppyfield. When I was about 8 years old we moved to another house. Before my parents created a garden, a lot of wild poppies grew behind the house. It was the perfect playground for my siblings and me. A few days ago, I found this picture in my photo collection and thought it would be a great motive to paint. So I took my watercolors and this was the result.

Playing with watercolor pencils

Watercolor-paintings are so beautiful :) There are many different techniques and different material you can use, for this picture I used watercolor pencils from Faber Castell. For the picture of the fish I also used a grey marker. Watercolors are perfect for paintings with transparent objects like the jellyfish.
