Farvel små fugle || Goodbye little birds

På min seneste udstilling, blev firmaet meget glade for disse 2 tegninger, som jeg havde med som kunsttryk. De vil fremover pryde i deres indgangsparti, hvor de hang perfekt over et lille bord, som du kan se det her. Så jeg er glad for at sige farvel til disse små fugle :)

Det er tegninger, som er populære blandt mine print.

Serien hedder "Fall" og tegningerne hedder hhv. "Au revoir Tournesol" og  "Last Dance Cattails".

Min proces

Jeg tegnede først "Au revoir Tournesol" fordi jeg blev ret betaget af den visnende solsikke.

Jeg synes, der er en speciel stemning i den døende blomst. Jeg fik lyst til at tegne en lille spurv. Dyr og fugle er mine yndlingsmotiver, og her var da en fin placering på planten. 

Jeg er også ret vild med dunhammer, også her hvor den er ved at visne. Og endnu en lille spurv passer i sceneriet.

Tegningerne tog mig en rum tid, da der er masser af detaljer. Især solsikken tog mig både lang tid, men også flere forsøg. Det hele lykkedes dog til sidst, at få et tilfredsstillende solsikke-look ;)

Jeg har overvejet, at tilføje flere i serien, når jeg igen griber til blyanterne :)

Pas på fuglene

I øvrigt skal vi i den grad passe på fuglene. Der er forsvundet rigtig mange i de seneste åringer, især fordi deres mad - insekterne - forsvinder. Også en grund til at skabe vækst for flere insekter. Og så spiller klimaforandringerne også en rolle ift. fuglelivet.

Fugleven?

Er du vild med fugle, kan du se jeg har en hel del print af mange forskellige arter - derudover flere malerier :)

ENGLISH:

At my last exhibition, the company was very happy with these 2 drawings, which I included as art prints. In the future, they will adorn their entrance area, where they hung perfectly over a small table, as you can see here. So I'm happy to say goodbye to these little birds :)

These are drawings that are popular among my prints.

The series is called "Fall" and the drawings are called resp. "Au revoir Tournesol" and "Last Dance Cattails".

My process

I first drew "Au revoir Tournesol" because I was quite fascinated by the withering sunflower.

I think there is a special mood in the dying flower. I felt like drawing a little sparrow. Animals and birds are my favorite motifs, and here was a nice location on the plant.

I'm also pretty crazy about down hammer, also here where it is about to wither. And another little sparrow fits in the scenery.

The drawings took me a space of time as there are lots of details. The sunflower in particular took me both a long time, but also several attempts. In the end, however, it all managed to get a satisfying sunflower look;)

I have considered adding more to the series when I grab the pencils again :)

Take care of the birds

By the way, we have to take care of the birds to that extent. Many have disappeared in recent years, especially because their food - the insects - are disappearing. Also a reason to create growth for more insects. And then climate change also plays a role in relation to bird life.

Bird lover?

If you love birds, you can see I have a lot of prints of many different species - in addition several paintings :)

Last Dance Cattails - finished

"Au revoir Tournesol" and "Last Dance Cattails"



Wednesday on my drawingday with Camilla, I finished the drawing Last Dance Cattails. Several interesting textures to work with. I enjoyed drawing it, and I hope you enjoy looking at the drawing.

I came up with the series titel. Fall. Beside the obvious referral to the season, and fall-mood, I also want to emphasize the melancholy I find in the dying plants. The sparrows life go on, but it is also part of the lifecircle, and will reach its own fall of life.

I like the strong focus on "the actors", enhanced by the white background. I will be looking for more motif ideas for this serie.

..............................

I onsdags, på min tegnedag med Camilla, fik jeg tegnet Last Dance Cattails færdig. Der var adskillige interessante teksturer at give sig i kast med. Jeg har nydt at tegne dem. Jeg håber, du nyder at se på tegningen.

Jeg har fundet et navn til serien, og det bliver simpelt, den engelske titel "Fall". Ud over den åbenlyse oversættelse til efterår, og efterårsstemning, vil jeg også gerne understrege, det melankolske jeg selv finder i de døende planter. Spurvens liv går videre, men også den indgår i livscyklussen, og vil på et tidspunkt, nå sit livs efterår.

Jeg synes godt om det stærke fokus på "spillerne", forstærket af den hvide baggrund. Jeg vil lede efter flere motivideer til denne serie.

Last dance cattails - wip

Here are my latest work on "Last dance cattails". The cattails themselves.

Its been 14 days since I last worked on this, as last week Camilla and I went for an exhibition. It turned out to be a bit of a dissapointment, but luckily there was a baker/pastry shop nearby, so we went for cake and coffee :)

Last dance cattails - wip 2

Another drawingday at Camillas house, and development on my drawing "Last dance, cattails".
Working now on cattail no 4 out of 7.
Everything will still be tweaked finally.

Last dance cattails - wip

On wednesdays I join Camilla for a weekly drawing day.
We talk (a lot), drink coffee, eat cake or fruit, and we draw ;)

We sit at Camillas (large) drawingtable, and I work in graphite or ink.

At the moment I am working on a counterpart to my drawing "Au revoir Tournesol", as I want to make a serie. I don't have a serie title yet, but usually they emerged suddenly :)

Here is the process so far

Here is the first in the serie; Au revoir tournesol
