My own Atelier?!??

Allright guys...it is official...I now have my own atelier and gallery...who would have thought?!

And in central copenhagen too...I am truly happy now, but where do I find the time to pursue this fully and complete? Oh gosh...

Amor and Venus - 3rd update...

So, this is the 3rd update. Honestly I'm skipping best-practice and I have started colouring the painting already. I should wait and work into the shadows and highlights with even colour before that...but maybe I had too much red wine...anyways...here goes...

Sorry guys...just me....

Its just a framegrab that I took from a small movie I am producing with my good friend Agnete...*S*

Documentary

Yeah...and to keep myself busy, I'm currently finishing up editing a documentary I shot about the Copenhagen Puppet Festival. There are some really good interviews and nice images...this is a framegrab from one of the performances I was allowed to film...more to come.

Coffee anyone?

Oh yeah...and I'm also working on this...I'm trying to get it just right...painting metal is no that easy, but this is my attempt in progress...:-)

Amor and Venus - update

Hi!

It has been a while, so an update is definetely overdue...here is my work in progress so far...

If you like - compare it to the post below. The post below is the sketch for the painting done in pencil only. This image is done in many layers, so colors and details are added sequentially.

Portrait - Amor & Venus

It has been a long time since I've posted. Many things are "happening" as I discover new ways to explore my creativity. Currently I'm working on a short film and also a documentary, which steals time from my paintings. The classic battle of the creative mind.

However, last night, I found time to sketch my next motive. I've grown fascinated of the old masters paintings, so I decided to make a real classical painting.

I simply love the way they painted, and I want to catch that certain glow.

These are my first quick sketches I did last night, so dont expect too much. It is just to give you an idea of what is in store...for those of you that care...:-)

The Double Life of Veronique

Oh, what joy! I just stumbled across this classic from 1991 by Krzysztof Kieslowski with Iréne Jacob as lead actress. I dont know what it is about this film, but it imposes a very special feel to me. The music by Zbiginiew Preisner is fabolous - you may remember him from the epic classical compositions he made for "Trois Couleours" -blanc, rouge & bleau - also movies by Krzysztof Kieslowski.

Oh my, if you haven seen this one - do the right thing.

Classical painting technique? Snobbish?

Hi, this is an extract from the readings I go through in order to learn the "Classical oil painting technique", "Flemish technique" or "Rembrandt style" - whatever it is called.

Check this out:

1. Stop looking at modern art and stop loving it. Modern bright colors and hue contrasts destroy the subtle vision of the painter who risks to study classical painting in our time.

2. Many painters get an energy charge from music. Stop listening to any modern music and begin listening only to classical music. Try to begin loving it.

I think the guy is serious!

The artist...

I know, not a pretty sight, but someone has to do it. So here I am - in a messy tshirt on a sunday morning..*S*

My work in progress....

Yes, I know - it is a bit messy, but so is the mind of an artist. This is my work in progress - I dont care to show much details, as it is in progress. I'm working on the third layer (called the PODMALYOVOK) and it is the layer following the IMPRIMATURA (the second layer). I have been a good boy and taken good photographs of all the individual stages, so I will be sure to post these later as a composition.

Language preference...

I decided, that I for now will type in English, as I have visitors not only from Denmark, but from other countries too. This goes for comments as well if you will be so kind.
