Watercolour & a hint of neon

Back to watercolour!

I bought some new masking fluid and now it's even more fun to paint.

Although I often redecorate the apartment, I still can find hints of neon everywhere.It' s not  over yet. I am working on a little series of pillows with neonpink drops. Oh yeah!

Bubble print

Pia and me made some Bubble prints!

If you want to try it:

Pour bubble solution onto a bottom of a plate and mix it with watersoluble paint. 

Blow some bubbles with a straw and touch them with a sheet of paper.

Colourmoods

I live in Göteborg now! It is just great to live close to the water. We went to Hyppeln last week. This little island is located in the northern part of the Gothenburg archipelago. It takes 1 1/2 hours with the bus and ferry to get there. Hyppeln is also known as the Mackerel paradise. It is very small and quiet, just perfect to enjoy nature. In the evening we went outside to watch the sunset. Besides of the see there was nothing between us and the sun. Just great!

I made some colour moodboards from the pictures I took. 

I feel like I just want to be outside exploring Göteborg, but I need to sit down and work on my new designs!

Presentation and discussion

KKV - Impressions I

Last weekend I was in Göteborg and participated in a screenprint course at the KKV (Konstnärernas Kollektivverkstad). KKV/Konstnärernas Kollektivverkstad Göteborg is an organization for professional artists, designers and craftsmen. It is an impressing building next to the ocean!

View from the studio

The course was held by Alexandra Hedberg and it was a lot of fun. I know how to print on textiles, but to print on paper is quite a different matter.

Solar Photopaper

 

Do you know Solar Photopaper? It is sensitive to ultra-violet light and you can make paper prints with a special touch. Just place any object on the paper and expose it 5-7 minutes in direct sunlight - wash the paper 2 minutes - let it dry on a flat surface.

Some objects work better than others, you have to experiment a little. Leaves and flat shapes are working good, but I also like the typographic-like print. I used those old neon coloured plastic letters for it (Pic No.3).

New Shop
