Hungerprojektet – Christmas tree decoration

Together with five other illustrators we got the chance to created portraits of women who, in different ways, fight hunger in their communities. I used ink and pencil.

This is Louise Lagni. She teaches people to read and write in Benin.

I'm so happy to be a part of this project! Mostly, because I strongly believe that when women get the chance to educated themselves and contribute to society, the whole country succeeds.

You can get all six decorations for 250 kr. I would say this is the most creative and decorative way that you can help fight hunger this year. Visit Hungerprojektet.

Here's a short interview with me.

Creating textures with screen printing

Today I'm creating some opaque textures with screen printing technique. All you need is a squeegee, acrylic inks and paper. I'm using a set from Daler Rowney System 3.

And finally trying out the textures...

Peony pencil drawings

I'm working on a project that will include lots of peonies. I'll create pencil drawings and then create depth by adding watercolor.

The progress from a light sketch to a more detailed pencil drawing.
