Digital painting, Corel Painter, 2013

Made a portrait of myself. I usually hesitate to do so, because it sort of stirs up my insecurity a bit, but it's always good to get out of one's comfortzone.

If you want me to make one of these for you, from a photo of your choice, then let me know. I'm currently back to doing digital portraits on commission for a while. They are 40$ a piece. I've set out to do 20, so hurry up and order one if you are interested. You can choose the format/size, but the default setting I use is 50x70cm at 150 dpi.

This is my happy face

Damn oils!

This face is giving me a hard time. It was all done and dry when i decided to put some varnish on it before adding some finishing touches on it. Should not have done that at the time because it disolved half the face, and now i am trying to redo it. What you see now is the result of the first round of redoing, hopefully it will come out ok.

Inspirations: Goya

So I thought I´d start sharing some of my thoughts and feelings about OTHER people's art. The art/artist I´ll be blogging about are the kind that in some way inspired/inspire me in some way.
So... First out is Goya(1746-1828).


Of course I admire his skill, but to me the most interesting thing are these themes of horror and emotional haunting that can be found in some of his work. It seems to me like he was way before his time in this. There is a almost perverted playfulness and provocative touch to his work that went beyond the crowdpleasing and boastful attitude that seemed to dominate other art. Art at the the time was something exclusive, and was mostly exclusive to royalty and high-society. Goya´s "darker" art seems like it was disregarding this audience and purpose.
