Three Wise Men sketched with Paper as Secret Santa gift for Christmas this year. I’ve made some more digital sketches with Paper recently…

Memories of Summer
My son enjoying himself in the Adriatic Sea. I started this painting in June 2014 in studio class but had to finish it at home. Unfortunately Stefan Nuetzel stopped offering his studio class at that time. Nevertheless I am really thankful for these three months – I’ve learned a lot!
Painting with a limited palette
After two monochromatic portraits it was time to add some color. The limited palette I used for my third studio class painting consisted of titanium white, cadmium yellow light, azo red medium and ultramarine.
Learning to see Values
My second painting at Studio Nuetzel was also a monochromatic portrait. It’s a really good exercise to learn to see the dark and light areas and how dark or light they are compared to the other areas.
Getting introduced to Oil Painting
In April 2014 I started to attend Stephan Nuetzel‘s studio class once a week. It was time for my first oil painting. Stephan suggested to keep it simple for the beginning – stick with one color and break it into a few tonal values.
