Illustration about a very little park
Many cars, and not a lot of trees
One of my new illustrations about the environment, our forests and the balance between us, our cars and the rest of the planet.

15km. of walking and a few experimental sketches in my Moleskine today
Door in one of the old industrial mills along the stream
After working with illustrations all morning, I have been twisting a bit around today, as I tried to find my balance between watercolors, ink and pencil in my work, and also keep a rhythm between walking and painting on my hike. So on the painting part I felt challenged today.
But the walking was superb with beautiful trails along 600 years old Oak trees and a small quiet stream (Moelle-aaen – Denmark) and all the way, forest and soft, easy walking. I also came by quite a few mills today. And it kind of stroke me that when the motives are really nice and romantic, they are so much harder to do – almost like the classic trouble of painting a sunset – that is really, really difficult as it almost always ends up looking like a very poor copy of the real thing.
Here are a selection of my Moleskine sketches from today:
-
- Old industrial mill, with quiet atmosphere
-
- Just by a little bridge crossing the stream – going into the dark forest
-
- Opposite the tree sat an old man, I think he sit there every day and look at this tree
-
- Oak trees can get very old, these where just around 600 years…
-
- At the edge of the forest
