THE ROUGH UNCOMFORTABLE BEAUTY ............................................................................................... DIE RAUHE UNBEQUEME SCHÖNHEIT

Acrylic with mixed media on paper 44,5 x 57 cm
Every time I paint something, I show it to my husband and he always tells me honestly if he likes it. Well, he did not like this one so much. But among artists, pictures that are not common "nice" are more popular. Why it is like that? There are many explanations for this, but I think that this kind of painting is somehow "honest" rather than "trying" to paint a "beautiful" picture. A rough, uncomfortable beauty.

Jedes Mal wenn ich etwas gemalt habe, zeige ich es meinem Mann und er sagt mir dann immer ehrlich ob es ihm gefällt. Nun, dies hier hat ihm nicht so gut gefallen. Doch unter Künstlern gefallen Bilder, die nicht üblich "schön" sind beliebter. Warum das so ist? Hier könnte man sehr viele Erklärungen dafür finden, doch ich denke, dass diese Art der Malerei irgendwie "ehrlicher" ist und nicht so "bemüht" einfach ein "schönes" Bild zu malen. Eine rauhe, unbequeme Schönheit.

Acrylic on paper 32 x 41,5 cm Acryl auf Papier 32 x 41,5 cm This is an example of a painting that I like a lot and that I manage quite well. The closer you get to the picture, the more beautiful and interesting it is. Any small area could be enlarged than a really great painting. I could take 1000 shots of them and each one is more beautiful than the other. Das hier ist so ein Beispiel einer Malrichtung, die mir sehr gut gefällt und die mir auch ziemlich gut gelingt. Je näher man dem Bild kommt, desto schöner und interessanter ist es. Jeder kleine Bereich könnte vergrößert als ein ganz tolles Gemälde sein.  Ich könnte 1000 Detailaufnahmen davon machen und jedes davon ist schöner als das andere.

.....::::: MAKING ART FOR MYSELF :::::.....

  E - It's strange to write here knowing well that no one will read it. Ok, then it will just be my diary. When I started getting involved in art (I mean creating it myself) it came out of a very banal necessity. We had just moved in a new apartment, the apartment was huge, the huge white walls were bare. I wanted to make it nice and cozy, chic and interesting, but how do I get there? Of course there is a lot of beautiful, affordable art out there, but as I was browsing through the internet and looking at many paintings I thought... what? I can do THAT too! I know sounds familiar to you. Everyone thinks they can make art and then never does. Either some people even try, but see it is not as easy as it looks. Or you have the plan to start painting and then don't do it. Ok, I actually started. I bought canvases, brushes, paint and just got started. I didn't want to create works of art for the outside world at that time. No, I just needed something nice to decorate our new ap

Acrylic and water good and bad idea ----- Acrylfarben und Wasser eine gute und eine schlechte Idee

Bild
Since acrylic paints are water-soluble, unlike oil paints, this can be a curse or even a blessing. I am very, very glad that when painting with acrylic paints with water I have endless possibilities to experiment with it. On the one hand I can dilute the paint, the brushes and all painting utensils can be washed out with water (but you should not wait too long, because then it will be much harder depending on the surface or at some point impossible to wash out the color). In this picture, I have painted some of them with crayons and therefore I was able to spray the picture with water and make these great shots. It's just such a pity that the picture does not stay in this state and the drops have eventually disappeared. But ... we still have the photography! Da Acrylfarben wasserlöslich sind, im Gegensatz zu Ölfarben kann dies ein Fluch oder auch ein Segen sein. Ich bin sehr, sehr froh, dass ich beim Malen mit Acrylfarben mit Wasser unendlich viele Möglichkeiten habe, um dam
