I had the opportunity to paint on a jute tote bag so I went for this #bluejay. Painting on everyday objects is just great because that way you'll always have a reason to pick up your art and even to carry it around. #art #traditionalart #diy #birdart #bird #animalart #wildlifeart #totebag

It's not even autumn yet and I already dream of sunny beach vacations. So I painted one to distract me of the temperature getting colder. I used really rough paper to give the rocks even more texture. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #landscape #seascape #stunday #beach #aquarelle #nature

I wanted to paint a polar bear without having a white animal in front of a white background. So I went for really murky waters to make it moody. But as you can see: The bear is not affected by it and keeps his calm enjoying his swim. 🐻‍❄️ #art #traditionalart #watercolor #animalart #wildlifeart #bear

Growing up in a rural area, my childhood took place in the presence of many impressive animals. Horses were especially dear to me since it was so much fun watching them zoom around. Painting them always reminds me of that. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #animalart #horse #wildlifeart #stunday

I love cities and their beautiful sights. But if I'd paint what it looks like walking through a street, I'd have a lot of weird angles and big houses. This time though I practiced to actually paint such a view. It's surprisingly fun to work with a strong diagonal line. #art #watercolor #landscape

First time I saw a puffin, I couldn't believe they're real. No way such a colorful and cute bird could actually exist in nature. So as I painted this lovely pair I didn't hold back and made them as sparkly as possible. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #stunday #bird #birdart #animalart #wildlifeart

When painting nature scenes, sometimes I like a cozy vibe and other times I prefer drama. Here I went for a really rough sea in #gouache. I kept a lot of rough edges and went weird with my color choices, trying to make nature feel overwhelming. #art #traditionalart #landscape #nature #seascape

Berlin zoo has built a huge new elephant enclosure and admiring those wonderful animals became much easier for me. But of course they actually belong into nature, so I painted this fellow as part of the savanna. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #elephant #animalart #wildlifeart #stunday #aquarell

I love white flowers. But they're kind of scary to do in watercolor, since you have to paint the whole image around them. One bad stroke and they're gone. So I pushed myself to try it once more with this Lily of the valley. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #bloomscrolling #floralfriday #flower

Another wonderful sight in my Aarhus vacation was Den Gamle By, an open air museum with historic views of the city. I was very impressed by the beautiful facades so I did a painting of them in acrylics. #art #acrylicart #traditionalart #landscape #stunday #denmark #historic

While spending my vacation in #Aarhus I noticed they raised the flag of Greenland on the historic custom house at the harbor. One more reason to sit down by the water and paint it! Unfortunately it got really windy so I had to finish it at home. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #pleinair #landscape

Last time I painted a dog he looked so sad I couldn't put him on a wall since my heart broke every time I saw him. So I did another one, this time peacefully sleeping. Always keep a happy #dachshund close to you! #art #traditionalart #acrylics #stunday #animalart #dogs #dogsky #davidhockney

With the plate coming out of the oven, my bluejay got its proper color scheme. I'm happy how it turned out! Especially the plumage is really nice to look at. #ceramics #ceramicart #pottery #diy #traditionalart #art #birdart #bird #animalart #bluejay

I gave painting ceramics another try and went for this curious bird. As you can see it's still a bit pale. After the burning process the colors should be way more saturated. I'm excited to see how it'll look! #ceramics #ceramicart #pottery #diy #traditionalart #art #birdart #bird

I once saw a group of alpine ibex when hiking through #switzerland. It looked like they were watching me from above while also not really caring. So in this painting I wanted them majestic but also like a force to be reckoned with. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #wildlifeart #animalart #ibex

#PalacesAndGardens #ECK #Watercolor #Watercolour #VillaCimbrone #Ravello #Italy #Italia #TraditionalArt #Painting Another one of my favorite spots

Being a huge fan of David Hockney the paintings I like most are the portraits he did of his dogs. So I painted this lovable #dachshund in his typical style. He came out looking a bit sad though, doesn't he? Poor guy! 💜 #art #traditionalart #acrylics #stunday #davidhockney #animalart #dogs #dogsky

As a kid I spent a large amount of time with my grandma who had a huge sunflower in her garden. That was quite the sight especially since it took me years to outgrow it. I painted this one in #acrylics to get that bold appeal. #art #traditionalart #acrylicart #sunflower #bloomscrolling #flower

I painted this view of Étretat as a gift for my mom. Since my dad died we've been traveling a lot. The famous cliffs were a destination of our first shared vacation. And I still paint them regularly since it's hard to forget beautiful #Normandy. #art #traditionalart #acrylics #landscape #stunday

I started painting with watercolor, which is still my go to medium. But what I love about #acrylics is how intense your colors can get. So last time I had my big brushes out, I went for some really dramatic roses. #art #traditionalart #acrylicart #bloomscrolling #floralfriday #purplefriday #rose

Like many people who have seen highland cows, I love them for their fancy hairdo. They could totally form a rock band looking like this! And if they name it Mootallica, I would buy their merch forever. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #stunday #animalart #cow #highlandcow #wildlifeart

I love how smooth watercolor is able to look. And there's no better way to use that than on some nice roses! I wanted it to seem like the flower is floating above the green. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #bloomscrolling #floralfriday #roses #aquarelle #aquarell #artsky #blueskyart

I've never painted a horse before, so this is Radish helping me out by posing for me. Isn't she great? She's got quite the life experience so even getting painted doesn't make her lose her cool. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #stunday #horseart #animalart #wildlifeart #artsky #blueskyart

I showed my painting of Warnemünde lighthouse to a friend and they told me it looks like a cucumber. So I actually painted one. Or is it a lighthouse again? I can't say for sure anymore! 😄 #art #traditionalart #watercolor #Aquarell #aquarelle #cucumber #blueskyart #artsky

Last week british painter David Hockney died. He was a huge influence to me for being able to capture landscapes in all their magic. This is a tribute based on his works. May he be loved for generations to come. #art #traditionalart #gouache #landscape #nature #davidhockney #stunday #rip #uk

I feel like the warmer it gets the more intense everything looks. Light sparkles in front of your eyes and colors burst in all directions. Which also is really fun to paint! So here are two flowers enjoying the sun. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #bloomscrolling #floralfriday #flowers #nature

Many friends of mine have parakeets and they're just so adorable. When painting this little guy I really wanted him to be in harmony with nature, as if covered by it like a blanket. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #parakeet #budgie #parrot #bird #birdart #wildlifeart #animalart #stunday

Last week I wrote about Lilies being dramatic when opening up. But I felt like my painting didnt really reflect that. So I gave it another try and ended up here. This flower truly lives its life in the most epic way imaginable. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #flowers #floralfriday #bloomscrolling

Once in a while I enjoy my landscapes more monochrome then usual. This time I went for this spooky house out of Tim Burtons "Beetlejuice". It's so satisfying to paint since every frame of his movies already feels like a painting. #watercolor #art #traditionalart #stunday #landscape #beetlejuice

One thing I love about lilies is how dramatic they open up. They're like actors putting up a great show once the spotlight hits them perfectly. Nothing wrong feeling like a lily once in a while! #art #traditionalart #watercolor #bloomscrolling #floralfriday #nature #lilies #flowers #aquarell
