Courses for Beginner Artists

When you first start out with art, be it drawing, acrylic, watercolor or other mediums, it is hard to learn these skills by yourself. I know, because that’s what I did. But I have become better at reaching out and finding tools that can better my skills faster and on the areas I need to improve. So in this post I’ll show you some tools that I would have used if I’m just starting out, dipping my…

So I rarely get to share big news. But for ones I feel it is justified to call it BIG news without it being a clickbait.

So I rarely get to share big news. But for ones I feel it is justified to call it BIG news without it being a clickbait. MY FIRST EXHIBITION! For two years now I have been juggling part time work, full-time studies and pursuing art. And pursuing art is not what it used to be in the old days with Gogh and Picasso. Some will argue that it is easier to market yourself these days because of social…

When I first started this blog, I had a vague vision of what I wanted to express with this platform as well as my art. I was – and still am to some degree – waving in the dark, trying to find advice or indicators that what I am producing has value. But after almost a year of posting I have found a niche where I feel I can make a difference. Photo by Sindre Sierk Rian COC to Obscure Art…

As a LGBTQ+ artist I am very proud and honored to be able to have my first workshop during Pride in Trondheim this september. So excited! How was your first workshop? :D

The Body as Canvas workshop will focus on building self confidence arround your expression and exploring acrylic as a medium. It will be divided into three parts. From canvas to face and body painting, breaking rules around traditional paintings. We are of course taking…

Starting this project was very exciting. I wanted to dive deep into a very important subject, raising awareness towards a growing problem while also facing my own demons.

Starting this project was very exciting. I wanted to dive deep into a very important subject, raising awareness towards a growing problem while also facing my own demons. I though this challenge would be challenging since it is so personal, but I didn’t think it would help me reflect as much as it has. Day 1: Draw your mental illness as a monster.

If you are reading this, I already know you have the spirit to write. How do I know? Because you clicked the title and are now reading these words I'm putting down in front of you.

If you are reading this, I already know you have the spirit to write. How do I know? Because you clicked the title and are now reading these words I’m putting down in front of you. Keep reading and I’ll promise that you might want to write even more. My first question for you is, why do you think so many people write? Do you think it’s about making money or being famous? Well, obviously it can…

From the first short story that I ever wrote in 2nd grade about a flower growing in a dark room I’ve loved writing words on paper, giving them meaning and creating fictional spaces. When I write I feel like an outer-world explorer trying to piece together a story, word by word, sentence by sentence. But I need to go through my own ritual before writing to get into my flow. And as I was in the…

I'm challenging myself to draw every single day for 100 days to break out of this bad cycle I'm currently in. The challenge will focus on mental health drawing prompts.

I’ve always admired artists that have the resilience to challenge themselves in creating everyday for a period of time. The struggle to paint under pressure is real, and consistency as you might have read in a previous post is one of my major weaknesses. So this is my way of breaking out of bad habits and pushing myself to create one sketch every day for 100 days. Feel free to join in and tag me…

How to find TITLES for your artwork?

Giving art or anything a title is hard. It feels so permanent, final, and so I feel it has to be perfect. A title that will instantly tell you what the piece is trying to portray or move inside the watcher. But I always second guess it even after I have written it down I feel there is a title that would have been better had I only been more creative with them. So what makes a GOOD title? When I…

Lately I’ve been drawn to the eye as a motive again. After the art block i felt I needed to practice something familiar and close to heart before venturing into new territory. So I picked the motive that got me into drawing and painting in the first place. The eye. My first Eye Painting The human eye has always fascinated me. They say it’s the window to the soul, but it is so much more than…

New blog post! check it out, smack a like and that good stuff. Goes a long way! <3

I often find myself sitting down in front of my sketchbook, staring at a blank page, fighting the urge to pick up my phone and scroll through something that will distract my brain from the shame of not being able to be productive. I am not going to say that being a part time artist isn’t hard, not because I don’t love creating but because it is hard to keep a schedule where you work in your…

My first ever artblock, what a crippling experience. What do you do to break out of an artblock? Hers what worked for me.

Well, it happened. My first real crippling art block! It is just as hard as I heard it was, and I am really struggling. The pencil feels a hundred kg heavier and there seems to be 100 miles to the canvas. I am still learning who I am as an artist and what I need in my journey, so this is mildly frustrating. This is also the reason why I haven’t posted in a while. I will honestly say that I feel a…

Appreciate your network, your allies are extremely valuable in every way. From giving you opportunities to spreading your work and more.

I don’r know how other creators felt but I was really scared to put myself out there and reaching out to different sources about wanting to have a workshop. Just reaching out in general was terrifying to me, because I myself struggled to see why they would hire me. I didn’t have the perspective of how I could make a difference. Luckily I have worked a lot with theatre in the past which have given…
