While painting African animals during the last weeks, I've had the feeling that the time is come for an African landscape painting too and here it is. It's my first work on Baohong watercolor paper and I like it a lot.

A further portrait painting on Yasutomo mineral paper, I like this tricky surface very much, which pushes me to paint more loose and spontaneous. The portrait too is inspired by a photo reference on ©MuseumbySKTCHY.

Done after a gorgeous, informative and very inspiring Tutorial at Tom Sheperd's Online Art School. 

  I've enjoyed the painting process a lot. But my result is a bit too dark and a bit too muddy. I'll try it again to get in the mood for more light and clearer colors. Looking a Tom's magical brushwork the whole session looks so easy, but OMG, it's not!!

....und es geht weiter mit meiner Nordseetier Serie! Schweinswale haben es nicht leicht in unseren beiden Norddeutschen Meeren und ihre Bestände sind durch den Menschen und Umwelteinflüsse stark bedroht. Es sind KEINE Delphine, sondern kleine Wale. Sie sind scheu und kaum erforscht.
